My right hand
The *******
Has a black band
Made of titanium
It means more to me
Than you will ever know
It tells us, we
Are not alone
There are more
Out there
That suffer discrimination
For something you can’t control
For a feeling deep down
You are emasculated
You are called *****
Tree, plant, insect
Snowflake, abused, pious
I wear it as a reminder
I’m not alone
There are more out there
The same as me
A label unbeknownst to most
