 When I came to this country everyone including my family thought I was a girl My stepmother was strict and religious She would treat me differently from my brothers and it hurt my feelings As a teenager I realized I wasn't attracted to guys instead. I wanted to be one of them After my family found out that made me leave the house Just like that. I left my whole life behind. I Ended up homeless in a big city. I'm trying to figure out who I was I Suffered from trauma and attempted suicide twice Then I found a community that supports me a man who I now call father Their true love and acceptance helped me realize I could be who I am on the outside, too I'm finally comfortable in my skin Today, I feel free
