unspoken words,
years of silence

it is time
to spread my wings

to embrace;

i am transgender

I've been called too intense from people who could not grasp the significance of my feelings.
I've been called hard to love from people who have not shown me a single sign of adoration.
I've been called ignorant from people who spew nothing but negativity.
I've been called ugly from some of the most beautiful woman I know.
We often look to others for how we should act and live,  so focus on yourself and you'll find that there is a bigger picture to every story, here are a few things that I AM.
I  am compassionate because people should be able to understand feelings and if they cannot, they can at least respect them.
I am warmhearted because everyone deserves love and light from time to time.
I am uneducated in situations I dont understand and constantly willing to learn from someone or something.
I am beautiful. And so are YOU.
I searched
the deepest depths
of the vastest oceans,
I searched way up high,
past the clouds,
in the bluest of blue skies,

I searched
deep in the hearts
of nature's greenest forests...
It turns out,
that I was carrying it within me
all along - only now, do I realise.

Such a lovely surprise to receive the daily
for my first poem upon returning to HP.
Two dailys in total in my time here...I'm blown away! Thank you all soooooo much!
Such an honor and a privilege

I'm so glad to be back home, here at HP!
I missed this site and everyone soooo much!
I'm sorry I left unexpectedly,
I really missed you guys!

Isn't it fun to read between the lines?
Like for every sentence and every word
A writer conveys something with so much worth

Isn't it fun to read beyond the lines?
That even though the writer wrote it with boundary
But you're thinking leads you to a endless land from just a cranny

Isn't it fun to read behind the lines?
Like for every lovely and eloquent lines
You can see the dripping tears and a torned heart with no rhymes

Isn't it fun to read among the lines?
Tread among the words and unspoken letters
Where you'll meet and see yourself face to face with wings and feathers

Isn't it so much fun to read a writer's lines?
And isn't it so much fun to write a writer's line?
You'll never know where reading and writing will take you.
Isn't it so fun?

Sometimes
pain
is not there
to grow you
or hone you

Sometimes
pain doesn't
even make you
stronger
or better

Sometimes
pain
just hurts
and
sometimes
you
deserve it

Sometimes
pain...
is for
someone
who's not
even worth it

They deceive us
When they say
"Hold onto your dreams,
Never let them go."

Because they never
Tell us what to do
When you dream
An Impossible Dream.

Such a dream
Can never occur,
Not because you lack the ability,
But because it would defy reality.

Some can learn to let go
Of such dreams.
Yet the cursed who cannot
Live tortured lives of unfulfillment.

So tell me now,
You elderly, supposedly wise:
What am I to do
With my Impossible Dream?
It's almost funny how many people see this poem, then tell me to still not give up.
