Not the life for me

We had to write a poem in English about a realization. And I made a coming out poem.

When I was little, around three or four I was like most little girls

At least to some extent.

I liked princesses and dresses and things of that sort, I had no choice but to.

My mother dressed me in a blue, or green, or pink smocked dress with embroidery along the front and were well made.

Though whence I was old enough, all of that changed. I quickly became uncomfortable with that life early on, no later then 5 or 6 did I realize I was unlike my peers. Though I had no name for it.

I resented the dresses and Disney princesses who I'd once admired so. Cast away the bows and skirts.

Not the life for me.

I changed, adapted, transformed even. Swapping skirts for pants, flats for sneakers, and femininity for androgyny.

Then in forth grade in an attempt to fit in, I switched back briefly. Though it didn't work and I quickly scrapped the idea. Within a year I was back to myself.

Not the life for me.

All through middle school until 7th grade I stated that way, without a place, without a name. I dreaded health class, the place scared me for life. I had no interest in anyone, though I didn't know why. Then one day, that one faithful day the teacher mentioned three terms-

Asexual. Aromantic. Agender.

I quickly went home and did my research, then came to the conclusion the titles past mentioned.

Though as much I wanted to shout it to the world, I can't at the time, but mark my words, one day I will.

Little by little I will.

Over the summer changed quite a lot, took hold of the reins and rocked the boat a bit.

Within the month of August I'd cut my hair three times over, the small golden locks piled on the floor. I dressed more neutral, with slightly boyish cloths.

I am a They, not a She or a He.

I am three A’s.

That's the life for me.


What do you think?

Until next time,
Max

    1. When I was around 6-7 years old was when it kicked in full force, it began as an inking when I was like around 5 and grew.

    2. Why have you come to dislike them?

    3. They just make me feel uncomfortable. I'm fine with other people liking them, it's just...not for me.

      Why do you ask?

    4. I stopped liking them, but now I want them more than ever and in excessive quantities. I'm thinking of getting into lolita fashion.

    5. Interesting. I think Lolita fashion would suit you!

      Also I just finished watching Kubo, it was a pretty good movie. Tony and I just provided commentary between ourselves the whole time in signs or hushed whispers. We came to the conclusion that Kubo is basically a spirit Mage, we've played enough Dragon Age to know haha

      Lolita fashion.... One of the many things that I love about you is I always have to Google-search the things you're interested in!! Which is good!! You broaden my horizons, Friend!! Now I know what Lolita fashion is!! Cool!! I absolutely agree with Mighty Max that you would be great at Lolita fashion!! Question. Would you design Lolita fashion dresses? ;-D
      "I stopped liking them, but now I want them more than ever and in excessive quantities." It sounds to me like {and this is just my inner Sherlock Holmes feeling everything} you are still trying to figure yourself out.... As an individual, a human being.... Straight or not.... Aspergers/ADHD or "normal".... It makes no difference none whatsoever. Everybody walks this uncharted road!! You are trying to figure yourself out as a person first and foremost. You're young.... You will figure it all out. Hugs!! ;)

    7. I love Kubo!!! The presence of Japanese motifs put it over the top for me. It's made entirely with stop motion.

    8. It was a really good movie! Cool! It must have taken a ton of work to do all the stop motion.

      Also I wrote another crossover. With Steve and Valan and Sammie.

  2. Mighty Max....
    Very good. Very, very, very good, Friend!! I liked your coming out poem!! A lot!! I imagine that it must have felt so therapeutic and healing to write!! What did your English teachers think? ;-D

    PS. I understand how it feels to be a misfit--for I am one--but not because I'm Asexual/Aromantic/Agender. No.... I am learning disabled, an oddball, a freak, different.... ;)

    1. Thank you!!! It was to some extent. I haven't turned it in yet.

      Everyone is a misfit in some form of society at one time or another. Your not a freak! Your awesome! Your "Beautifuly Unique!"

      "Everyone is a misfit in some form of society at one time or another." I love that!! And I wholeheartedly agree!! Whether or not you are learning disabled, "normal", straight or queer, makes absolutely no difference none whatsoever, does it? ;)
      "Your not a freak! Your awesome! Your 'Beautifully Unique!'" Thanks, Max!! You are so sweet!! But I am a freak.... I was born with craniosynostosis, congenital diaphragmatic hernia and Wolff Parkinson White syndrome.... All three being rare birth defects!! I am a survivor, hard to kill!! I have folliculitis decalvans, {which just so happens to be a rare disease} so, as resulted, I am slowly losing my hair!! I have premature short-term memory loss at age thirty-two.... And I've had it my entire Life!! I am learning disabled, an oddball, different.... I was not using the word "freak" word in a negative, feel-sorry-for-me sort of way!! ;-D
      You have not turned your coming out poem in yet? I hope your English teachers--and classmates--accept it!! Good luck, prayers and hugs, Friend!! ;)

    3. Yeah! To me, there is not exact definition of Normal, as everyone is different and no one, not even identical twins, are completely the same. We each have our quirks, our flaws, our misfits, that's what makes us human, and they should be accepted rather than shunned.

      "I am a survivor. I am hard to kill!" Well that makes two of us!

      Oh okay!

      No I have not. Thank you!

    4. One of my best friends says there is no normal and abnormal, just common and uncommon.

      "To me, there is not exact definition of Normal, as everyone is different and no one, not even identical twins, are completely the same. We each have our quirks, our flaws, our misfits, that's what makes us human, and they should be accepted rather than shunned." I absolutely, wholeheartedly, one-hundred percent agree with you on this statement!! I have truly come a long way in my Self-Acceptance journey--a road which, I'm still travelling on--of being someone who has premature short-term memory loss, learning disabilities and is different. For years, all I wanted was to be "normal", whatever "normal" is. Like I said, I'm still travelling this road.... ;)
      Maybe I should not have called myself a "freak".... Even if I wasn't using it in any negative, bad ways. Maybe "freak" was the wrong word. Sometimes I say/write things that I wish I could push the rewind button on/delete/do completely over. I have worked on this shortcoming!! You, Mighty Max, may be a survivor and hard to kill, {for which I am thankful for!!} but you are definitely not a freak!! You're Beautifully Unique!! {I just made a rhyme!! Freak = Beautifully Unique!!} I guess what I'm trying to say is.... I am not a freak, either. You were right!! Thanks for the correction, Friend!! ;-D

      PS. I have also been feeling convicted. If I can write/say that members of the LGBTQ community--and people who have special needs--are human beings, not freaks like X-Men characters, {I wholeheartedly believe in this conviction!!} then I'm being contradictory, then I feel like a hypocrite.... I will stop. ;)
