Gender Identity In Perilous Times

Who makes the decision as a person stand
Once life exits the birth canal are you now considered woman or a man
 
Pink or Blue
We extend our congratulations as we waited for this handsome bundle anew
However, what happens when one’s not sure after coming of age
The mentality of your gender, a person just cannot gage
Parents dealing with alter egos and the backlash of identity rage
Marbles and trains become dolls and dresses
Counselors out of pocket expenses to determine undetected sexes
But mama, I feel that way everyday
I should have aborted you, your gender related issues keep getting in this family’s religious ways
Yet, I still continue to pray
You would wake up and do as a boy should play
 
Is it wrong Is it their right
When feelings to connect with the same sex becomes their day of light
Daily legal fights within the realm of society labeled misguided mental flights
Dealing and accepting their personal plights
No one in our family has ever met this fate
Wait, allow me to get this straight
You want to what! Change your sex with hormone pills
Oh my God, please help this family, are you for real
My family, my friends, my church, what would they think
You have shunned this family long enough, you were in the blue, now all you see is pink
 
People, we must learn to love all
Each person’s destiny is always God’s call
Laws to protect
For the silent seeking genders, you may never have met, being a nurse, not yet
Universal love
Showered from above
Do I personally judge
I am a person, who do not like to form opinions, or keep a daily grudge
It’s a moral decision of who they think they are, who they desire to be
I respect you all, just do not hinder the natural woman in me
If you feel I stepped on your toes, as my words are set free
Or my voice
Your lifestyle, as you must respect other people’s verbal disbelief of choice
 
However, may your inner decision give you peace, therefore, may the masses learn to forgive
For the ones who refuse to understand, do not condemn their attitudes for the way, you live
I will say, there’s enough room for us all
Just do not beat one’s unacceptable head against a wall
The mind during conception
A misguided chromosome rejection
People will tell you it’s not in the DNA
How could you be born and flip your gender the opposite way
 
Should society shun those who have hid their presence behind a closed door
If God makes no mistakes, then what are we complaining for
Discrimination to settle a mental score
Knocking a person’s feelings for their gender related issues to the floor
No one knows what goes on inside the mind of a person who is born one way, yet acts another
It doesn’t make their journey any less easy, that seed still came from the womb of a mother
 
Feelings felt in his or her mind
To want to change from God’s initial design
Do you think there is a Heavenly clause
For the seeds created, planted and delivered with a hidden pause
A twisted existence no one wants to applause
Your journey is your own
Let’s just all support, and leave well enough alone
God tempers the land as he sits on his throne
If anyone, he should be the one to pick a bone
Every melody prayed up to his ears is their life’s song
Sex same marriages
Surrogates paid for same sex baby carriages
The same two and two as they love
Demonstrations, begging to change laws, which was B.C ordained from above
 
God has to be cordial some may say
A man shall leave his father and mother and cling unto his wife as noted, it’s the Bible’s way
I remain silent, I suppose love is blind
As a nurse, it’s my creed to always give peace over troubled waters to a confused mind
Maybe the wrong word to use
To them, no internal confuse
Gay pride parades are their mental muse
I can only imagine, society such as this
Only want arms to embrace, lips to kiss
This world has moved so fast to place this issue on my Nurse’s poem wish list
 
To discuss
In as much
But hey, this existence effects some, not all
I would be hypocritical with words if I did not place someone else’s silent issues for a surgical procedure such as this magnitude on roll call
For a world so vast
Don’t worry about anyone else’s breath, breathe as if it’s, your last
I hope I did justice for all who reads to admit, hey, that could be me, or a friend to some form of degree
For the eyes of acceptance, I’m sure they only want to be
Rather you are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender as seen in your eyes
I have long ago resigned my, what! get out of here! or my whys
I am trying to maintain my own earthy existence of spreading love and a future home in the sky
