Stanza 1
She was within her mother's womb
Her hormones got confused
Now she's like in a tomb
For her body her soul refused
Stanza 2
She was given birth, finally and at last
Her parents named her with the name of a man
Because about 9 months past
They knew, in ultrasound, she's not a woman
Stanza 3
She grew and came to know
Become aware of her consciousness
But her self esteem became so low
For she deemed herself with sinfulness
Stanza 4
She cried, What is this?
Why am I like this? She sobbed
She had no inner peace
She felt as if she has been robbed
Stanza 5
Body and spirit mismatch
Is terrible indeed
It hurts your psyche so much
It looks like it will bleed
Stanza 6
Oh, who will save me from this pain
To end it is my sole desire
For what could I gain
If I would stay like a liar?
