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.
