The Switch

Heartbreak and heartache can help create great art
Mysteries or symphonies that come from the heart
From the start, pain is what put me on this course
Gained my voice after suffering a major, tragic loss

Ever since then I've been scribbing with my pen
Determined not to succumb to this world of sin
My intent is to win by any means necessary
Surely I'm not a King that's weak nor scary

Standing up and speaking clearly to those listening
Transmissions being sent telling of my transitioning
I'm different and many just can't seem to handle it
Using this poetic craft like a staff whenever I vent

Parting Red Seas or making noses bleed when challenged
They claim that I'm violent because I refuse to be silent
Hypocrites are having fits because I'm not taking their shit
Life can be a bitch so I learned to switch it up a bit
