Wrote this last november when I was trying to come out to people....

See Me

I am neither boy nor girl

Man nor woman

Adult nor child

But you know me

I am the one sitting in the corner

Crying until my heart bleeds

The one treated as an unwanted foreigner

Knowing nothing of what I need

You continue on in your self righteous religion

And you know me

You hate me for my darkness

My weight using wasted space

Truth can not make you recognize

The hurt you bring when you give chase

Fight me off, tooth and nail

You think you know me

I am neither boy nor girl

Skin makes us who we are

See threw the skin and tissue

See to my insides and push them away

See straight down to my being

And then you may know me

Thanks! It means a lot.

DOnt worry bout how things read, how the meter is or the rhyme. Most of what I do is free verse (keeping meter in time and rhyme bends my brain too much). Many will find meanings here that you didnt think were there but all input is welcome and appreciated.

Poetry is so much more open to the reader's interpretation than prose.

That is why I am so glad that I finally learned how to connect to my heart and write poetry.

You can reach people on so many levels - this was very good.

Love ya,

Sally

Thank you. :) It means a lot to have people that understand and maybe even *like* my randomness spewed on the paper... hehe

I agree, meter and rhyme are just to much effort to worry about! :lol:

Thanks Sally. I've read some of your poetry before and I was floored! It is amazing, then for you to tell me this was good... :o hehe

You can reach a lot of people in a lot of different ways with poetry. I love it!

Thanks!

for me when the muse strikes (kinda sounds like a song) i find I have to write. It is the same with my connection to the spirit realm, when they have something to say.. I need to pay attention and write what is given.

Its kinda the same for me, but once and a while I'll just want to write and I'll just put words on paper until it makes sense.. Thats what happened here.. I wanted something that I could show people when I came out so I wrote until it made sense. Fortunatly it only took one rough draft then the final copy! Rarely does that happen!

But sometimes the mood (or muse hehe) hits me and I have to grab my pen and paper to get it out...

Just depends!

give me chance my love SS for driving my feeling with that lovely

poetry please:

I like that poetry; words and feeling spreading inside it,,

my sweetie SS,

and I hope you are now coming out from,pains coming from

people's snaring eyes on you,,

that happen for all and making us feeling so sad,but my love

the only solution what I believe are:

-looking kind for those people,what live in dark corner

of misunderstanding humanity secrets and needs.

- and why on earth we need to take care for the at this point,,

I know; Sally one time said (If I am understanding her very well),

that coming because people seeking scaling(good or bad) from another people looking to them,,

that are fully wrong,

what is making people great or another is only behave principles

what they believe and work with it.

not money,beauty,body,power,star life,,all that are extra vanity,,

when all that finish one day, will remain behave only,

when I am at grave one day what I will take with me(big nothing)

from all that except how I behave with all.any how that what i believe

honey I don't know about another friends here.

by that pains of give people chance to controlling our life by pains,,

many of us looking for end them selves,that so hard beyond my thinking,,

we love people but not live to be as people like,bad or good,,

by that we will gain our peace,freedom as will as love

people.

love you

Bulloo

      Did you ask her if there was anything particular you need to learn from the BIble?  Any particular book you should read? Result she wants you to have? Did you ask her if she is reading her Bible, and what she is getting out of it lately?  What is the Lord speaking to her?   It shouldn't be a one way thing.

      I would like to, but I don't obsess over it.

      I apologize for my part in side tracking the discussion.

      Comparison can be deadly.  If the 23 year old beauty queen is the standard for women, all others are not real women.  If Jocko Willink is the standard for men, all other men are not real men.   I read an essay about the mermaid and transgender people. There is a statue of a mermaid in a Danish harbor.  She looks wistfully back at the sea, where she cannot go because she is human above, but neither can she walk on the land, because of her lower half.  Psychologists have noted a fascination with mermaids by trans kids.  TG folk, using the mermaid analogy,  can feel like we can neither mountain climb nor explore the depths because of our condition, but there is plenty we CAN do.  As humans we can both climb mountains and explore the depths.   Not all women give birth. Not all men become fathers.  Not all men can pull cable wire all day long, walk iron safely, or heft 600 pounds in a dead lift.  That does not mean they are not men.

      Sally, thank you for deciding to post your life experiences. They have certainly struck some chords with me, and have caused me to look again at my life and where I am going.  I will not take up your thread with my thoughts, but suffice to say that I was commissioned into the military (RAF) as an aviator in 1963. Fortunately my cross-gender feelings were mild and easily suppressed. It is only in later life that they have come to the fore.   I look forward to reading more.   Karen

      I tried the superglue and it didn’t stick to the plastic bag. So I am using some chicken cutlet forms until I find a cheap replacement or go more permanently and get top surgery. I just need to get a therapist note for insurance to cover the surgery. I’ll use Tegaderm repair on the ripped on special occasions like my cousins wedding.

      The bridal shower went very well. My wife, mother and I went. We bowled (I sucked at it) and went to a bar afterwards. I was totally accepted by my family and the brides friends. That is what I had been expecting from this side of my family. My one cousin who got married last year told me that she wished I had went as myself instead of listening to my mother telling me to go in boy mode.

      It doesn't just seem that it is, it actually is. aging trans people are left out of nearly 90% of all the help said to be available to transgender people.   Here in Texas, there are not many, if any actually created for aging transgender people. Planned Parenthood pretty much has only been active for trans youth, primarily, as of late. I can't even find legal help for discrimination cases that would help by allowing me to show that it is trans care related. By the way, I don't qualify for medicare as I am turning 55 this year. I also can't get Medicaid either.    Trans youths are not the only ones needing help. Aging trans need just as much help, BUT, are pushed aside as though we as older transgender people, do not matter. I agree the youth are our future, but until the youth decides to listen to what is being taught to them instead of thinking they know everything, the youth of the nation will be our demise.
