Poem by maanvibhagat

She was quite happy that day
She thought she'd found a true friend
But she didn't realise when
That friendship was starting to bend
When it started to find a destination
Different than the one she'd planned
Both of us are girls, she thought
But these words her heart won't understand
She was starting to fall in love
Her dreams about her, started to grow
But her sad self was crushing her feeling
For her offence to stay low
But one day, it happened and she
Kissed her best friend
Who was equally shocked but
that smile was a message sent
Both were happy, with matching smiles
In each other's arms they were
But the next day what they saw
All passed away in a blur
The curses, insults were like knives
Said in the blink of an eye
Ignoring those words wasn't a choice
Even if they'd like to try
But still they fought, with teary eyes
Their hands clasped together
At the end, their love won, they smiled
Once again with each other.

When I was born
The doctors shouted it's a girl,
My family rejoiced the arrival of a little princess,
Pinks frills and dolls
Filled my tender age.

I didn't want a barbie
All I wanted was to set free my pet birdie.
I wondered if she felt trapped
Just like I did in my strapless dress.

As I grew up I started to resent my body
Specially that organ which bled regularly,
It was a reminder about the organs I didn't want but had
And made it more difficult for me to accept myself.

Getting called a 'she' when I was clearly a 'he'.
I was a boy, I knew that
Then why was it difficult for society to accept me.
I am not broken or in need of surgery
I am just a boy stuck in the wrong body.

I am merely existing in this world
With a small expectation of choosing my pronouns,
Don't take this right away from me
I want to fly in the sky and not die in this cage,
Unlike my little pet birdie.

I was born like this
And I have accepted it,
I will not change myself
Just to satisfy your transphobic mindset.

The problem lies not with me
But with the people taking me to therapy,
No amount of talking or counseling
Will convince me to be who you want me to be.

Is being gay as weird as everyone makes out,
or is it as normal as Pb & J sounds.
Just because Captain Holt was a black and gay cop,
he was not invited for a round of golf.
Just because she supports homosexuality,
she got labelled as a lesbian for having empathy.
Instead of saying its her choice if she wants to slap a guy,
We should say it's her choice if she doesn't want to date boys.
The outing of Samara made the headlines
Because her not being straight was more important than a homicide.
Everyone in their lives at least once questions their sexuality,
but the thought of what they might discover stops them immediately.
The fear of getting disowned keeps them from coming out of the closet,
even if it ruins their lives
because in the end it's what others think that matters.
No one will support you
Until you stand up for yourself,
So come on what are you waiting for
Let's smash that closet!
This pride month
Don't you dare hide
It's your time to rise and shine.
