The Meaning of Words

by Ashley

What does it mean, when you say that I’m not real?

I walk and talk, hope and dream, I think and I feel.

I’m a person, just like you. Why’s that sound absurd?

What makes you think you have the right to define the meaning of a word?

But you call me out. You assert that I am weird.

So, what is your motive to insist that I be feared?

You believe that I am different. Do you think that you have caught me?

I just want to live my life in a way that doesn’t haunt me.

We are more than DNA, we are more than biology.

Those things, for me, are a prison. I just need my soul to be free.

So you think you get to say what it means to be a woman or a man?

It is not God or Fate, just I, who gets to decide who I am.

Besides, when it comes to words, what have you ever known?

Compassion means “to suffer with”, but you make us bear these wounds alone.

Thanks! I love writing, it is so cathartic :)

I'll post a couple of other poems you might like too. I also have an article I posted on here somewhere called "I was born a boy... so what? (or when good adjectives go bad)" that is being published in Transliving soon.

Anyway, thanks again for the kind words, they mean so much :)
