Palindrome Poems

we must fight

their made up ideology so

it does not align with

the view of the masses

this country, built on good values

is constantly trying to fight

an ongoing takeover that

we failed long ago to put an end to

learn it, and learn it good

those deemed inferior

who see the relinquishment of freedoms to

white Christian men

we must fight

I’ll be who you want me to be

Even though that’s not how I feel

Because I’m the only one who knows that it isn’t right and

that I’ve always been a boy

And I tried so hard to convince myself that you were right

I said I wouldn’t tell people because they’d think I’m lying

Because I’m graceful the way a lady should be

And I look good in dresses that flow in the wind

I’m quiet and dainty in the back of the room

I’m just a girl

But I so badly want to say

I’m just a boy 

And I have the confidence to put myself in charge

And the teacher asks me to move heavy things

Because I’m muscular but only slightly

I’ll be who you want me to be

Even though that’s not how I feel

Because I’m the only one who knows that it isn’t right and

that I’ve always been a boy

And I tried so hard to convince myself that you were right

I said I wouldn’t tell people because they’d think I’m lying

Even after I said to you that the old me isn’t coming back

You told me you miss the old me

As if I’ve been replaced by a totally different person

Even though I’m still in the same physical body

You’ll never see me the same
