I had those days where I would ponder on the "what ifs" in life. One of those thoughts inspired me to write this poem. I dedicate this poem to those who are transgendered and are still hiding within the shadows of the closet. You are not alone.
Deep inside there was a man
shouting and screaming
to break out
of this god forsaken place
enclosed and hidden away
from society's eyes
he is stigmatized by
what they call him
a monster.
gnawing at his skin,
so tender so soft
tearing out his hair,
so lush and long
he screams and shouts
only to hear shrieks and pouts
his bulging muscles
hidden behind delicate
slender limbs
sadly he is more than
another body
trapped inside another
he cries and cries streams of water
all leading into a pool
there he drowns
drowns in his own misery
his own yearning
to escape and be free
deep down he is lost within
the
delicate
body
of
a
woman
