Transbender
She became a man.
Not something I fully understood.
Why she would want off his
breasts.
Her reproductive organs.
Trade her vagina for
his penis
and gain
persecution,
misleading,
and judgement.
FREAK is what they
will whisper to him
in the streets,because
this world doesn't understand
"FREAKS" like us.
So you trade your parts
for hate
and misrepsentation.
A vagina for a penis.
One mind
for a differnt
soul.

The Change
I've come to realize
that when the change takes over
their bodies,
it frightens me.
I try not to cry or
make a sound that could give away
my fear.
I've lost someone fimilar(again)
and gained something entirely new,
unexplored.
The next step is how to mold
the new found clay.
Discover it's twists and turns.
Rid my thumbs over the divets.
Know their smells,
the way that they speak,
listen to the ocean in breathing.
Still the change scares me.

infectious disease
I’m an infectious disease
Spreading through the bloodstream
Shutting down whatever I can
On the journey,
Making my way to the heart
Lungs
Spleen
Liver
Till I reach the brain.
That is where my true nature lies.
I like to watch you suffer.
The way you grasp for air
Sputtering away
Like a chu-chu train
Or an old rusty oiling can.
Spreading through the bloodstream
Shutting down whatever I can
On the journey,
Making my way to the heart
Lungs
Spleen
Liver
Till I reach the brain.
That is where my true nature lies.
I like to watch you suffer.
The way you grasp for air
Sputtering away
Like a chu-chu train
Or an old rusty oiling can.

Shadow
Shadow.
She is my constant companion
And friend.
Part of me.
Half of me.
Sister,brother,child.
Just like me.
There when others are not.
When I feel alone
Afraid,hurt ,or scarred.
She is there beside me
Beckoning me.
Calling out to me.
She is the one I cry out too.
The only one I let see,
When rivers run down
my shaken face.
My shadow
She is there.
She is my constant companion
And friend.
Part of me.
Half of me.
Sister,brother,child.
Just like me.
There when others are not.
When I feel alone
Afraid,hurt ,or scarred.

Beckoning me.
Calling out to me.
She is the one I cry out too.
The only one I let see,
When rivers run down
my shaken face.

She is there.

Consume
The world was getting to me.
Ripping me apart
so I let it in
and swallow me whole.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The world was getting to me.
Ripping me apart into pieces.
Threading it's way in
So I gave up
and let it swallow me whole.
Just to see what a shallow
hole I had become.
(Which version do you like,guys?)

I know....
I know...
I know
There are words
to which
These things
can be explained,
and seen.
Only I just
can't find them.
I know their
right there,on the
tip of my
tongue
Waiting to be said,but...
I just can't find them.
They dare me to say
them,but when
I try,
they falter
like
Wind to my chest.
There in an instant
gone
in a flash.
Causing me to grasp
for air instead.
Making me look like a fool
for not being able
to explain
as well as I should be.
They make sense in my
head,but...

Two by Two
God gave Noah a boat,
(the size of three great whales)
that would deliver his family
from a great flood.
Rid the earth of all sinful humanity
and start again
from scratch.
(Just a pinch though)
Noah loaded them
two by two,
all shapes,
sizes,
and colors.
Then came the family.
In they went
for a
month.
Till Noah
released a hopeful dove,
for three endless days.
On the third night
it did not return.
They found land
and praised their Father.
Unloaded the animals
two by two,
All shapes,...

Time
It's funny how things seem
so long ago
when really that was only
a matter of a few days or months.
It's just crazy how
time works.
Tricking the mind
in order to get what it wants.
A laugh at humanity,maybe?
A stifle of respect in some pointless aspects.

Somewhere in between.
I thought we were done with all of this.
The slamming doors.
Cursing,just to get a word in.
Breathing heavily so as not to choke
on the stench of anger.
The stream of tears that never seem
to end.
The showers,just to calm the nerves,
when really I just sit there.
That was all three years ago...
or so we thought.
The day that you told me I couldn't
love someone as the same gender as me,
and here was your excuse;
"Because it is wrong."
I didn't understand how something
no differnt than a man and a women
Could be so...

Swirling Vortex
We live in a world
Where eating disorders become out friends.
Scars make up our bodies,
And substances become our vital organs.
Ever tasted candy kid?
You wish you were as cool as us.
Drowning ourselves in our own destruction.
Digesting the sins of out for fathers,
Just to have a little taste of reality,
Rather what we think it should look like.
Because we’re cool.
Yeah man,reaaal cool.
Smooth like ice tea.
Quick like snails.
Suppressing our little suicidal thoughts
In spinning vortexes of merahz
Through a Plexiglas fortress...

Women:S
Women.
We’re like graceful Geisha’s.
You have to be careful
Or we might break.
Sometimes we lose our heads
And forget how to dance
In the painful flames of life,but
We continue to try.
One foreign dance at
A time.
Step by step.
Measure by measure.
Inch by inch.
We try and get it down, because
If we fall and lose our balance,
We’re the ones to blame for
Messing up the dance.
So becareful,
Make mistakes little Geisha’s.
Fall in love,take that first step,
And never,ever look back.
You lead the dance now,
Not...
