I was a born a man Before I become a woman. My choice, my life.
I'm not an omen Though my biology is in doubt. I found myself in this flute Things that I liked vanished.
The world has ripped us apart Burn our names And wrote our obituaries.
I want to change but I don't know how My inner being is a woman But I'm a man outside.
I starved myself for 7 days Prayed for 30 days Waiting for a sign to show me who I'm But the heavens are silent.
Is this a disease? Is it a curse or a burden? I do not know But the world has rejected us.
I have seen hatred I know what loneliness means. My path is unclear And my life, a mockery.
We are a generational myth Betrayed by nature Labeled unclean and unworthy human form.
What we need is mercy What we need is help not rejection. I'm a transgender A burden to myself A burden to the society.
