TIRED

I go to bed exhausted
But all I do is toss and turn

My stomach is tied in knots
And the thought of food makes me ill

Even on a sunny day I see nothing but grey
I count the hours till I can hide in my bed

Ask me what's wrong, and all I'll say is

I'm

just

so

tired.

Bleeding

Author’s note. This is a poem that popped into my head today. Its gonna be tough, as it deals with sexual abuse. Please be careful reading it.

(I cant do music, but imagine a soft, sad guitar playing while you read this)

I’m ... bleeding ...

just when he entered me

Bleeding ...

never will be free

Bleeding ...

cant let anyone see

Bleeding ...

what he made of me

Bleeding ...

and no one can ever know

Bleeding ...

so its go on with the show

I think I'd never look back

I think I'd Never Look Back

Author’s note: This is based on "I think I’d have a heart attack", which you can find a version of here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xR0HrrIXjBk

I always had my defences up
never could admit who I was
because if I ever did that
I know I could never look back

Always knew that I had to hide
Always had to try to be a guy
Never talk about what I want
Even though it made life so tough

The Girl with the Scars in Her Eyes

Have you seen her?

The girl with the scars in her eyes?

Because she tries to be invisible.

She thinks its safer, but its also very lonely.

Have you touched her?

The girl with the scars in her eyes?

She often flinches when people reach out to her.

But she looks with longing at those who are being touched.

Have you spoken to her?

The girl with the scars in her eyes?

She’ll try to keep the conversation light.

Even though she longs to be able to share.

Yes, you're gone, but you're still here

Yes, you’re gone, but you’re still here

For Kylie, may she rest in peace

Not far away in time

I was yours and you were mine

then you went and said goodbye

broke my heart and made me cry

Let me go (Parody of "Let it go")

Let me go (Parody of let it go)

I dont really want to argue tonight

cover ground we’ve already been

I’m tired and so frustrated

Its time for me to be seen

I Hate My Toes: A Trans Girl’s Lament

I hate my toes,
I hate my nose
And I really hate it when my belly shows

I hate my hair
I had to share

Shame, shame

Shame, Shame

“Its all my fault!

If I hadnt dressed like a girl

let my true self out for a twirl

he wouldnt have wanted to hurt me

take my body, then desert me

Why didnt I bash him on the nose?

what went wrong that made me froze?

So I stuff my girl self deep inside

even though it makes me cry

and within I start to die

Because it was all my fault!”

 

“Its all my fault!

If I hadnt told the doc of my distress

of my wish to wear a dress

he wouldnt have made me his toy

to show me what happens to a sissy boy
