Poem: HEARTBREAK
Posted: Mon Sep 13, 2004 6:11 pm
Heartbreak.
Physically threatened by the straight masses.
Shunned by every other community.
Do we fit? Can we fit?
Pigeonholed. Stereotyped.
Labeled as
PERVERT. WHORE. DEVIANT.
Call the police! Pack the bags!
There’s a TRANSVESTITE living in my neighborhood.
A cruel society jumping to the wrong conclusions once again.
True self? ACCESS DENIED.
Working hard. Supporting our families.
We struggle for recognition
And RESPECT.
We are not freaks of nature for we are HUMAN.
Physically threatened by the straight masses.
Shunned by every other community.
Do we fit? Can we fit?
Pigeonholed. Stereotyped.
Labeled as
PERVERT. WHORE. DEVIANT.
Call the police! Pack the bags!
There’s a TRANSVESTITE living in my neighborhood.
A cruel society jumping to the wrong conclusions once again.
True self? ACCESS DENIED.
Working hard. Supporting our families.
We struggle for recognition
And RESPECT.
We are not freaks of nature for we are HUMAN.
