Be Somebody, Anybody


Dear Me, 

You have been through hell 

You look at the mirror, 

Not knowing who you are looking at.

You feel worthless.

You harm yourself just to feel something. 

What for, it does not make you any different.

You are transgender. 

You must face the world, tell them. 

Tell them who you are, 

Most reject you, you enter an abyss. 

You feel lonely and abandonned. 

You find yourself at your breaking point.

Ready to end it all. 

What are you doing, you hold the pills in your hand.

What is wrong with you?

You rather end it all, then finish your transition?

That is truly pathetic. 

You must fight for yourself.

Forget your insecuritites, 

Your anxiety, 

Your will to end it all. 

Push through the hate

Be somebody, anybody, 

Choose life always.
