Transgender

 
She closes her eyes to hear the baby cry
Some things are too difficult to face.
While she wishes for a child
All she has are dreams to embrace.
 
Trapped in this cell
praying for daylight to come one day.
No way out of these thoughts
even wishing her feelings away.
 
For what is a girl to do?
When she faces losing all
If she chooses to follow her heart
And display it on the wall.
 
Instead of keeping peace
Holding it all inside.
If she keeps this secret
A part of her will have died.
 
She cries and prays and begs for God
to take her pain away
But God says no and she stays trapped
as a male for another day.
