You want me to be either or

But I’m fine being both
I don’t want that label nor the other
I don’t mind the duality
That doesn’t mean I don’t respect its confusion

You want me to be either or
While no one truly is
Even if the label and the definition dictate so
That doesn’t mean it should hold sway over me

The shadows cast on reality are baffling
The demands on figuring it out are revolting
And the shape you take or you don’t isn’t your problem
That doesn’t mean I don’t care or am ambivalent

I am just “am”
You are just “am” too
The shift in perspective from you to me
Doesn’t change anything

You want me to be either or
But I am neither nor
And either or
Go figure

It’s tough, I know
It’s blasphemy on display
But what if it isn’t
What if it wasn’t

You want me to be either or
Let the want not be
Let the either be neither and or
Let it be for being is what it is

You
Want
Me
To be
Either
Or.

Until the next ❤️ beat ~.~.~
