If I, human
Tried to be anything else,
What would happen?
If I, me
Tried to be someone else,
Who would I be?
If I, myself
Tried to find me,
Would I have the courage to?
If I, female
Tried to show you, male
Would you understand?

If I, human
Tried to be anything else,
What would change?
If I, me
Tried to be someone else,
Who could I be?
If I, myself
Tried to find me,
Would I be strong enough to?
If I, male
Tried to protect you, female
Would you let me?

If you, world
Stopped telling me how to be,
Would I be able to be myself?
If you, culture
Stopped defining happiness,
Will I be truly happy?
If you, others
Stopped trying to make everything equal,
Could I become everything that I am?
If you, fear
Stopped trying to control me
What could stand in my way?

What holds me back?
