Lost Within Happiness
Poem By Lea Cobb
The challenges you face finally come to a close
And when you wake up you see freedom in a form of a rose
Waiting years for the suffering to end,
Fighting for that day you can call yourself a friend
It has been so hard and it has taken so long
And now I can finally right all those wrongs
My mind if free, I can finally be me
And show the world what I have always seen
The mind of a woman, now within a body of a woman
And having that feeling is great, then all of a sudden
You wake up and you get dressed and walk out the door
And the people around you don't see you at all
You are still a guy, your still spoke to as one
Treated the same, is this really, the final outcome
All that suffering and fighting for what?
Having to live as a male when now I'm not
So happy I've changed to be who I am
But how can I be truly happy, when people don't give a damn
I try so hard to live my life, researched everything so I can fit in
But no-matter what I do I still get represented as him
If this is going to be the rest of my life, then I don't want it
I wanted to fit in with humanity, not have to deal with this bull->-bleeped-<-
I am getting so sick and tired of defending myself,
And arguing with people about who I am
This isn't a life, it is a nightmare, while you sleep
When you was already drowning, you're now sinking six feet deep
I have always wanted to blend into the crowd
Be happy with who I am, and very proud
I didn't want all this attention, within my community
I just wanted people to treat me as the real me
But with every day that passes, this thought is becoming distant
And I'm starting to lose all of my resistance
So I don't know how my story will end
I don't know if I will end up calling myself a friend
Because at the moment I am lost in happiness
And stuck asking questions, when there are no answers
People around me, say if this is what you wanted, you should feel free
Because you are finally accepting you true destiny
But when the past has been surrounded with so much pain
When people treat you this way, you're are re-living it again..
