Feelings

The tears that I shed now emotionally,

Release the pain so I can be,

The twin-sister who’s inside of me,

I feel it within my heart you see.

Throughout my life I’ve been a male,

Raised three children, that’s quite a tale.

I worked hard to support wife and family,

Cross-dressed only very occasionally.

Then when the andropause hit me,

My body did strange things you see,

After endless research on the Internet,

My research showed me what I might get.

How would I make this new gender break?

For to get it wrong I sure couldn’t take,

Do you think I need psychiatric aid?

I can’t afford what those shrinks get paid.

I know that my marriage would not last

It’s fragile now and nearly past.

To whom do I turn to ask for help?

I know so little that I could whelp.

Except that the cost is beyond my reach,

So it looks like I’m stranded on the beach.

Crossing would be a desirable state,

Do you think I have left it too late?

I know what I’d like but it cannot be,

So where do I go, oh please tell me?

To wallow in self- pity would do me not a scrap of good at all

It would not help to get me out of this mood and go and have a ball.

So I’ll simply go and meditate for I know it will help me,

To be a woman in my mind and you can’t take that you see.

I think I’ll stay contented therefore, with my lot in life,

Cross-dress as frequently as I can and help maintain my wife.
