There’s a Me that no one sees
I’m hiding every day.
I’m not how I’m supposed to be
it doesn’t feel Okay.
There’s a me that no one sees
I don’t know what to do
like feeling that you have to sneeze
and never say Ah-Choo.
There’s a me that no one sees
I’m told I am a “She.”
the girl they say I’m s’posed to be
Feels much more like a “He.”
There’s a Me that no one sees
I like to wear boy stuff.
Dig in dirt and skin my knees
and show them that I’m tough.
There’s a Me that no one sees
I don’t like to wear a dress.
I’d rather wear a shirt and jeans
and leave my hair a mess.
There’s a me that no one sees
my secret is my own.
A tiny boat on shoreless seas
I feel so all alone.
There’s a Me that no one sees
I’d like someone to know.
Someone who I won’t displease
But I’m not sure who to show.
There’s a me that no one sees
I’m afraid my friends will frown.
Maybe make fun of me and tease
and push me on the ground.
There’s a me that no one sees
my parents saw me cry.
I could say I had a strange disease
but I didn’t want to lie.
There’s a Me that no one sees
My parents love the same.
I told them how it was for me
and then we changed my name.
There was a Me that no one sees
Who now is seen all-day
like swinging on the high trapeze
and ending up Okay.
There’s a Me for All to see
Not hiding anymore.
It’s like I found a magic key
to open up the door.
