a peom for all to share

Here I sit day by day, lay by night.
I wish n pray with the sincerity day
and night.

I know not what i am, or why I feel
this way, I cry, i am depressed, why?

For outside is not right, but inside i am
fine, sighs with sadness, crys with pain
yells and screams from anger, aches of
the mind, when will it end, where?

I run and hide, cower in fear, i try
to evade it as hard as i might, But
no matter where i go, who i am with,
it creeps in to my dreams, night
after night.

I am old yet I am young,
I have fear yet show how brave to
be.

I am weak, but through courage
i am strong.

I am depressed and cry, but with
love and support, I am fine.

I am you, you are me, we are them,
they are us, we all are the ones that
get shoved, pushed aside, ignored
put back in the dark, people think
we should not see the light of day
such is their plight.

Run from it no more, let it be not
the plight it was but let it be our
strength, our power our might.

Rise with me sisters and brothers
Let us stand united, unified, let us
be counted, not shoved aside.

Stand proud, show people we are
around here as they are, we have
feelings and emotions as they;
Let us show the world as transpeople
that we are proud, and loud.

Life is a river, sometimes far and wide, sometimes narrow and short,
But no matter the direction of the current, it is the person that gazes upon
the waters reflections, that make the decisions for which they travel.
