A soul lays bare
A smile of sadness
Is always there

A determination slumbers
Hopelessness prevails
A airless prison
And all it entails

Inescapable, claustrophobic both
Never a chance to escape
Crying and screaming
Will she be free before it's to late

A life of hurt, a life of pain
That ends at night
By the morning
Starts again

Inside a Girl
Outside a man
Shunned by most
Unwelcome in my homeland

Transgendered is the word
To describe the prison
Suicide tried many times
My own stupid decision

I must go on
Not only for me
But for those who shunned
For i want them to see

They may see a man
Say faggot at best
But nothing burns like
A woman scorned at rest

I'll be successful
I'll make them see
Life may be hell
But i will always be ME [comments] => 4 [counter] => 271 [topic] => 75 [informant] => law_glen18 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 13 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => anguished ) Your Poetry Dot Com - Behind This Skin

Behind this skin
A soul lays bare
A smile of sadness
Is always there

A determination slumbers
Hopelessness prevails
A airless prison
And all it entails

Inescapable, claustrophobic both
Never a chance to escape
Crying and screaming
Will she be free before it's to late

A life of hurt, a life of pain
That ends at night
By the morning
Starts again

Inside a Girl
Outside a man
Shunned by most
Unwelcome in my homeland

Transgendered is the word
To describe the prison
Suicide tried many times
My own stupid decision

I must go on
Not only for me
But for those who shunned
For i want them to see

They may see a man
Say faggot at best
But nothing burns like
A woman scorned at rest

I'll be successful
I'll make them see
Life may be hell
But i will always be ME
