Life of Transgender

Everyone pushes me away,

Beastly humans devour me as prey,

With salty tears, I cry,

Disowned and disavowed,

No hand to hold me

No hug to offer me,

Something kills inside me everyday,

The world cuts me bitterly

But now it’s over and out,

I won’t cry, no more;

My life, my rules,

I will break the walls of silence,

I will grow strong, robust and rugged, Seek sunny side of life,

Leaving false shades behind me,

I will embrace my mind and body,

I won’t boil my blood,

I will accept the world and my sexuality.
