Do not weep, dollface, for transsexuals have it easy.
Because the battered and bullied threw hir frustrated hands into the sky
And ze walks the waking world alone,
Do not weep.
Transsexuals have it easy.


Cruel, accusing eyes of the Transphobic individuals,
Ignorant beings who can't see beyond their own eyes,
They don't seem to understand.
"Told" by their "gods" that the LGBTQ spectrum is of the devil
And anything of the "devil" is an enemy that must die --
An "enemy" who is no different than you or I.



Do not weep, beautiful, for transsexuals have it easy.
Because your family disowned you,
Friends abandoned you, hating you for being you.
Do not weep.
Transsexuals have it easy.


Scars from the surgeries.
The replacing of your hormones.
The great changes of the body,
Many desired, others feared,
All are a part of becoming the person you are inside,
While the rude individuals around you push you
Closer and closer to the edge.



Mother who can never accept her son,
A son whose soul is that of a woman,
But she has the body of a man.
Do not weep.
Transsexuals have it easy.
I wrote this originally for my American Literature class, where we had to write our own poem mimicking Stephen Crane's War Is Kind [ Link to the poem: [link] ].

I used hir and ze so that the poem could apply to anyone of any gender; however, in the final stanza, I talk solely about a woman's MTF daughter. This was just to follow Crane's poem. I wish for this to apply to any of the genders :)

With all the artwork running around for spirit day, I had thought this to be the perfect topic, because transsexuals don't have it easy, and I give those of you out there much love and hugs :)
