I am a man.
And I feel.
I feel pain.
I feel sadness.
I feel heartbreak.
I am and I feel
I see
And I hear
And I touch, taste,smell
And I feel.
I am young.
I feel love.
I feel friendship.
I feel tired, mostly.
I am and I feel.
I experience,
And learn, and try, and again.
And I feel.
I am transgender.
I feel different.
I feel wrong
I feel disconnected.
I am and I feel.
I bleed, and I cry,
And I fall, and I never give up no matter how easy it would be.
And I feel.
I am human....
And I feel.
I feel pain.
I feel sadness.

Forbidden
Glances,
Looks,
Stolen touches,
In the crowd.
She looks at me,
Grey eyes filled with wisdom.
My own,
Filled simply with wonder.
With a racing heart,
And electricity rages.
Hidden,
We dance,
Never touching.
Never telling.
Forbidden,
We live,
Barely.
Monsters,
We may be,
To our own,
To each other's,
For being in love.
Magic
We are
To one another,
Yet, we don't meet,
Don't speak,
Don't.
Can't.
Can't exist,
Can't love,
Won't.
Won't even...

to the gallows
Scream and the world drowns your noise.
Fight and the people break you.
Change and everyone wants you to change back.
Consistant.
constant.
Ending before it even begins.
To the Gallows
Take a life.
Show No mercy.
Cry No tears.
Make No noise.
Listen.
Learn.
Die.
Never laugh.
Never live.
Never want.
Never feel.
Cry and the world beats you.
Bleed and the people cut you.
Sing and the majority stone you.
Silence.
Never stopping.
Never happening.
Ignorance.
Ignore it.
Is it bliss after all?...
Fight and the people break you.
Change and everyone wants you to change back.

Women
When she talks the stars themselves bow at her feet.
Her voice, smooth and low and hypnotic.
Everyone listens.
Her eyes on yours make you feel As though you caught fire in the dead of winter.
She can smile and the world will disappear.
She moves with the grace of a deity.
And for many she is.
She inspires devotion with a single touch.
And single laugh.
Men fall at her feet,
Lose their heads.
She has No desire for the men
With their filthy thoughts
And rough hands.
Who think of only one thing.
She rejects their advances...
Her voice, smooth and low and hypnotic.
Everyone listens.
Her eyes on yours make you feel As though you caught fire in the dead of winter.
She can smile and the world will disappear.
She moves with the grace of a deity.
And for many she is.
She inspires devotion with a single touch.
And single laugh.
Men fall at her feet,
Lose their heads.
She has No desire for the men
With their filthy thoughts
And rough hands.
Who think of only one thing.

Her Kiss
When her hands trail my body.
When her lips leave bruises.
And her nails leave blood.
That's my favorite kind of kiss.
Intense and passionate.
Letting go of hate and anger.
Groping for pain.
When her teeth mold my skin.
When her fingers tangle in my hair.
I fall in love with the moment.
Heavy breathing, soft moans.
Hidden in our secrets.
My favorite type of love.
My body touching hers.
Her lips touching mine.
And a fire Burns.
Soft lips, rough kisses.
In a world all our own.
A moment suspended in time. ...
When her lips leave bruises.
And her nails leave blood.
That's my favorite kind of kiss.

I fall in love with the moment.

All in Love (Written for a nation wide contest for students)
The world would not stop.
If we'll fell in love,
The sky would not drop,
Or rain fire from above.
But because they are scared,
When they can't understand,
They want it declared
That I can't hold your hand.
If love is wrong,
Why would we fight,
When violence is welcome,
And murder is right?
We are treated like criminals.
We are slaughtered like pigs.
But nothing is done,
That will stop all of this.
I will fight through the danger.
I will fight just for you.
Facing violence and anger,
And facts that aren't true.
If we'll fell in love,
The sky would not drop,
Or rain fire from above.

I love you
Its three little words.
Some people can hardly say.
Because their hearts have been broken.
Three little words.
With so much meaning.
The power to make a persons day
Or break a persons heart.
Why is it so awkward to say it.
In relationships.
Maybe because it isn't true.
Can't lie. Don't wanna.
But that's probably not right.
Because so many people can't say it at all.
To anyone. To no one.
Not even to themselves.
But I say it.
Those three words with so much power.

Skin
I have this skin.
I didn't ask for it.
I have to live with it.
Until I don't.
Its the wrong skin.
Stretched and scarred.
Forming the wrong things
in the wrong places.
Covering damaged bones.
This skin tells my story,
But only to those who read carefully.

Ghost of a Ghost
I guess we didn't notice.
Maybe.
I think I did.
When I was young.
I knew.
I saw the ghost.
Hiding in my mirror.
But I didn't realize who he was.
The little boy who walked with me.
Calling me a name I didn't recognize.
I know the name now.
But I had forgotten the boy.
For many years he hid.
Masquerading in dresses and skirts.
And I know him now.
I know who he always was,
But isn't yet.
I don't recognize
the little girl that stares at me anymore.

From Human to Ash
They say it happens for a reason,
Until it happens to them.
They say life has a purpose,
Until they figure it out, and then,
It doesn't matter where he came from,
It doesn't matter where he went,
All that matter was his fairytale,
All the untold stories from all his untold friends.
And a fire burns inside me,
The flame they used to send him out,
Cry over his ashes,
Spread him across his favorite ground.
His blood still runs through my veins,
But I'm the only one.
He was one in a million,
Now his legacy is gone. ...

Hurricanes and Airplanes (Songs competition)
There's a storm here and it won't calm down.
Thunder and rain and I just want out.
There's a storm here and I'm trapped inside.
Rescue me before I lose my mind.
I wanna be in a plane in the sky.
I don't care where we go, no I just wanna fly.
Take me away, take me far from here.
Fly me to anywhere.
Please.
Take me back with you when you go.
Take me anywhere, I don't need to know.
Give me wings to let me free.
The rains so thick that I can't see.
Oh.
I wanna be in a plane in the sky.
I don't care where its going,
I just want to...
Thunder and rain and I just want out.
There's a storm here and I'm trapped inside.
Rescue me before I lose my mind.

You Lose
Some of us laugh.
some of us cry.
some of us kill.
everyone dies.
Everything changes
and no one knows why.
everything is different.
everything is the same.
how do you see the world?
how do you play the game?
And why does it matter
if everyone dies?
Everyone loses,
No one knows why.
some of us cry.
some of us kill.
everyone dies.
Everything changes
and no one knows why.
everything is different.
everything is the same.
how do you see the world?
how do you play the game?
And why does it matter
if everyone dies?
Everyone loses,
No one knows why.
