TRANSGENDER

Blessed be the transgender one,

Gave up on life to seek the sun,

Bigoted parents, insidious friends.

Her heart be broken and so it ended.

This girl believed she didn't matter.

Conformed to societies issues,

Everyone said she was meant to.

The vicious encounters of supposed normality,

Bought you to your desperate knees.

You have your wings now.

Fly sweet child be young and free.

Rest in peace, in sweet relief.

(C) LIVVI
