What it's like to be me, a transwoman...

-I hate being trans, it’s so unfair

-When God created me, it’s like he didn't care

-About the traumas I’d go through, didn't he have a clue?

-Trapped in my body, I’m stuck what can I do

-30 to 100 grand just to be who

-I feel inside, you're lucky it’s not you

-Looking for solutions, any effective will do

-To feel free in life, would be a dream come true

-I'm tired of woe is me, it’s pathetic I agree

-But being a Transwoman takes a toll, mentally

-And leaves you feeling incomplete, empty emotionally

-I'd never wish this on anyone, let alone me

-But for now, unfortunately it's my reality

-Trans life is hard, I'm always on guard

-Never revealing my true self has left me emotionally scarred

-Professing what I am, not only dangerous but hard

-Judged as deceitful, though not true by far

-Being born this way, I can honestly say

-More often than not, I dread a new day

-Getting the body I need, makes this taboo subject passé

-God let it be soon, you know I cherish that day

THE END
