Death Is The New Life

I AM a Human Being

I I'm a human being
Most of you see that by 2016
But some ignorant people don't see
I am a human being

I was born a boy
But I feel like a girl
When I told my parents how I felt
It really took them for a whirl

They said I was going against the almighty God
I was born with a penis
And that I should suck it up
And deal with it

Because these sinful feelings will go away
And I be married to a beautiful woman
With beautiful kids
And will disown you
If you keep feeling like this

And I had to gather all the courage and strength I had to say
NO! I don't want this
The man I called my father
Put his hand in a fist
He gave me a black eye
Just like that I was unloved
And I was homeless

Hi I'm a human being
And I love in a society where they say
You get what you get and you don't throw a fit
Just deal with it!

They tell me don't embrace who you are
Or you'll never get far
You're an abomination
A failed abortion
You should be put six feet under in a grave
Because you're not one of us
But why can't they see that
I AM A HUMAN BEING!

Hi I'm a human being
I have a brain and a heart and a pair of lungs
I have five fingers on each hand
And five toes on each foot
I function just like you and everyone else
So why am I put in hiding
For being myself
Hello
I am here and this is me
And I AM a human being-

~Kye~

Side note: Just so I am completely clear I am not a transgender. I do however believe everyone is entitled to the same rights. I hope you enjoyed the poem!
