We Are Trans

It's not that I want to be a boy like you say.

it's that I'm a boy that wants to be a girl like I'm supposed to.

I want to chop my body off and start brand-new.

Knowing people want me dead is not something I should go through. 

 

The rulers of the world say I should be eradicated. 

I can only hope their plans are ill-fated.

All the things they said were bad and this is related.

This is just how we were created.

 

They will use anything as an excuse yet I know the bible is against hate.

To many I'm not a person or a classmate.

I'm just a child so all I can do is wait.

What can I do?

 

I watch the death of many from my screen.

Knowing in some places I can legally be murdered.

I'm not even sixteen.

They talk like I need a vaccine.

 

I often think of the people in Texas that can't move.

Getting kicked out because their parents disapprove.

We people are not just something you can remove.

You need to learn and improve.

 

I'm trans and always will be.

I know you hate me.

To you I am nobody.

But we are many.
