There are times
I’m not a female,
But there are times
I wish I weren’t male
I’m not a black,
But there are times
I wish I weren’t a white
I’m not immortal,
But there are times
I wish I weren’t mortal
I’m not a doubter,
But there are times
I wish I weren’t a believer
I’m not a conservative,
But there are times
I wish I weren’t a liberal
I’m not a saint,
But there are times
I wish I weren’t sinful
I’m not ignorant,
But there are times
I wish I weren’t learned
I’m not implicit
But there are times
I wish I weren’t explicit
I’m not an Islamic,
But there are times
I wish I weren’t a Christian
I’m not an animal,
But there are times
I wish I weren’t a human
I’m not in
But there are times
I wish I weren’t out
I’m not lonely
But there are times
I wish I weren’t the opposite
I’m not you
But there are times
I wish I weren’t me
… Still, there are times
I am the opposite
Of the opposite of me

Don’t confuse my personality with my attitude.
My personality is who I am.
My attitude depends on who you are.
