The Winter I Knew

The winter I knew
Was as empty as the foggy morning dew
And they turned the key
On the lock that trapped me
In the morning breathing cold air
It was as though there was no one there
Who would ever care
Though they say they do
They do their best to threaten you
With what they think will make you move
Like there is some point they want to prove
To be a functional adult
And a “grown woman” is a cult
That only the brainwashed agree
Is part of what it means to be free
And you could call me non binary
But it’s really not true
It’s just androgyny coming through
As I seek to find
A reason not to go out of my mind
Sitting in this space with you
As you pour animosity through
The fill of the glass
It’s all about what you get in class
When the story’s over
Did you trample a four leafed clover
In your attempt to reach the finish line
And will you only realise when your time
Here on earth is done
Coz, honey, you are the One
