Some years ago mother bore a boy.
A child's mind as you may know
is always society's toy.
I tried in vain to fit their mold.
To my true self I was blind.
A few of us can be so bold
to make gender self defined.
A struggling womam's spirit
was desperate to be set free.
I tried so not to hear it,
But I knew that she was me.
I no lomger lay me head sedated
on a pillow damp from crying.
I have been reincarnated
without ever really trying.
