what is isn't what i see

Everyone always assumes that I'm X
Because everyone expects Y to L
But it's not
Not always
Not most time
L is the performance of Y
I am Y in the mode of N
Which no one expects
When people meet my Y
They have a choice
Learn the vastness of what Y can be
Or pretend that my N is not an L and
Therefore I must be hiding my X

Expectations will change
Not just for me
Maybe they will just cease to be
Then my Y can be N
or O
or 1
or &
or a million other variations
And her X can be L
or A
or 7
or )
or anything else
or nothing else

Let be let be

I love when people prove me wrong. I like knowing that even mainstream folks can live outside of expectation. I appreciate that courage. Cheers.
