a poem about my gender and sexuality <3

I am tired of correcting;

When will you become bored of saying your words all wrong?

It is not she,

And it never will be

No, it never was

My name has been Percy,

In my heart

So lord, please have mercy,

And say your words right

I am tired of correcting,

So I will say for the last time,

With extreme insistence

My name is Percival (Percy for short),

My pronouns are He/They,

I am bisexual, and non-binary

Please remember

I am tired of correcting.
