I am a man trapped in a woman's body
In a world that doesn't accept me
The mask stays on to cover my scars
To cover my sorrow and my heart
My guard is up
I'm afraid
My mask is going to break
My attempts haven't worked
I'm not what people want
I'm a man in the body of a woman
The mask is slipping
So I'm hiding
The hate people give
I was told to attempt again
The voices get louder
Saying one more wouldn't kill
My blood is running to the floor
All I asked for was to be a boy
This body isn't mine
But it's the body of a little girl that was adored
She was harmed at the age of five
By a man that she thought was good
The little girl is now a boy
Not because of him but because he wasn't born in the body his soul was assigned
He knows the pain too well
We hide behind the mask so we don't get harmed
We hate our body
We hate our hair
We hate our voice
We hate ourselves
We're sorry for the mess
We're sorry for your loss
They lost a daughter
But won't accept their son.
