What I say is never what they see,
I have such more complexity,
I taught my hands to flair cards in awe,
All they see is I am Trans,
I embraced empathy stood by all who need,
All they see is I am Trans,
I become priestess of a festival far reaching,
All they see is I am Trans,
I bounce and dance with joy in step,
All they see is I am Trans,
I make sure those too drunk can find their bed,
All they see is I am Trans,
I strive for a tomorrow better than today,
All they see is I am Trans,
I say out proud I am Trans,
All they see is their fear and loathing.
I waste my words, my time, my smile,
For all that's been read is.....
