Trapped

By Jordan Cleveland, 15

Trapped in a cage of flesh

Feeling so incomplete 

Thinking about his future 

And the girl he will never be 

Mentally he is a woman 

Physically he is a boy 

His emotions rip him apart 

And he feels tossed aside 

 like a toy 

His classmates cast him stares 

Looks of disgust and hate 

He has hidden her for so long 

But this girl cannot simply wait 

She is clawing at the bars 

She wants her chance to 

 finally shine 

And the boy sits in the corner 

Wondering if this flaw is 

 by design 

He ponders this for some time 

He sees that it is not a flaw 

Him is her and he is she 

And he will not let her fall 

He has fought it many years 

And he knows the hurt is 

 strong 

Today he may be a boy 

Today, but not for long.
