I AM

I AM

I am the result of anonymity.

the result of speculated identity,

 the result of growing irritability,

I am the result of assumed masculinity,

the result of concluded femininity.

the result of availability,

I am the result of lack and poverty.

the result of complex immaturity,

the result of reckless irresponsibility,

I am the burden around my mother’s neck

and the “deed” my father soon forgets.

 I am the unwanted child.

And I am one of many.
