Personas:
Who am I? Who do you want me to be?

Gender is fluid. I am fluid. I can change myself into whoever you want me to be.
I can be your Troubadour; she sings you to sleep, her voice cutting through the thick, confining summer air.
I can be your Irishman; they let you cut their hair like Sinead O’ Connor, their hair falling limply to the floor with your complete trust in their heart.
I can be your "Perfect Girl"; she shaves her whole body for you, her lipstick stays on even in the shower.
I can be your Rocker; he always has a cigarette lit for you when you step out onto the stoop, still somehow, he smells of your perfume.
I can be your Gentleman; he picks you up at eight o’clock sharp, he shakes your hand upon introduction and holds your hair back four hours later.
And yet, after all of this, I am still not enough for you.
Maybe I am enough for me?
