Transgender

Slipping stocking on silky smooth legs.

Wanting and yearning to turn people's heads.

Dressing up nice in a posh frock.

Knowing people will judge, people will mock.

Applying makeup like a pro,

But needing to keep the status quo.

Styling a wig to look like a girl.

Feeling the butterflies, head in a whirl.

Looking deep at the eyes reflected in the mirror.

Where is the man? can just see a glimmer.

Feeling for a moment that he does belong.

Takes a deep breath, tries to stay strong.

Feeling comfortable within his own skin.

Just slightly visible, hair growth on his chin.

He will not venture out as he's branded a freak.

But really he's normal, maybe a bit weak.

For if he goes out people think he is guy.

He's just like me and you at the end of the day.

Some think he's bisexuality, it's really unfair.

He's just heterosexual with a little more flare.

All he's ever wanted, is to be accepted.

In this current decade still is rejected.

If you gave him a chance you'd see he's real nice.

His heart is so warm, not cold as ice.

He loves with his heart, is caring and tender.

Look deep within, he is only transgender.
