15th Of November

Day of release.

Oh dad

How I miss you

And your support arms

Which embraced me

During my times

Of distress.

 

When

I needed someone

To raise my spirits

That had sunk

Below Death Valley.

 

As

The years have past

I find myself

Standing before you

At the grave site.

 

Pouring

My troubled heart

To your earthly remains

Hoping beyond hope

For an answer

To the question.

 

The

Very question

Which has shaped

My life.

 

Altering

How I view myself

And whom I am

As a person.

 

That

Rainy day

In 2006.

 

When

I realized

My true nature

As a transsexual.

 

A

Woman trapped

Inside of

A man's body.

 

Could

Stop living my life

As a lie to myself

And others.
