Triple the Struggle

- Triple the Struggle -

I was born hermaphroditic,
Male and female entwined.
But with three souls!
Two twins, and another.
All three interconnect,
Like a thing alien or divine.
How can one control,
If one is father or mother...
When one is both together?

My gender is most oft fluid,
My preferences of two sorts.
I have known torment!
Been subjected to bigotry.
Some wanted me dead,
Until the pain of it contorts.
So my anger I had to vent,
Weeping for lost dignity...
Screaming for all to see!

I remain true to myself,
My pride stays strong...
Love is my true wealth,
And to love I do belong.
Thee souls, many colors...
And all of it so varied!
Like so many whispers...
Where shadows tarried.
I think of many futures,
Seeing so many paths...
A rainbow bridge secure,
From all hatred's wrath.
From mountain to shore,
So in joy we may laugh.
Forevermore!
