So... I wrote a song! Like, I actually did... I didn't put a recording of it in this project, but I'll put the lyrics, and maybe someday I will... maybe, my singing isn't very good tho sooooo alright now just read the song :) Warning: there's some 'bro's and 'yo's. And there's a bit of subtle sviside mentioned... The verses are rapped too! The actual song is coming soon!
TRANSGENDER Bro, you wouldn’t understand I gotta fight to be a man You were born this way, me I gotta work for it Tell me to go to school, might as well push me into a pit But I suck it up and take in a breath I truly do think that this is worse than death I have to be around all their prying eyes Searching me for all my secret lies I wanna go home, don’t wanna be here Don’t wanna push through this crippling fear The teachers look away while I face it alone The questions and comments, they shake me to the bone I scream and shout, but no one will listen So I hold my breath and keep on wishin’ Someday this’ll end and I will truly be But right now everyone’s expecting me Should I stand up, shout, and speak up for myself? No, I think it’s better if I stay quiet for my health No one here is learning a thing Bro, we just wait until the ding ding ding This is my life This is my strife Just make it through the day, without grabbing a knife This is hard This is tough I really do know that most of us have it rough So we keep on going Keep on movin In four years, Many less fears… I’m transgender Yo, it’s true, I wanna take testosterone, So I get through school, then hide behind my phone I look up questions, am I aloud to end this yet? No I’m not, if I did, they say I'd regret So my body keeps on shaking, My mind keeps on breaking I tighten my chest I feel like a mess I try to exercise late at night But it ends with me thinkin ‘bout yesterday’s fight They puff out their chests and show off their strength Bro, I wish I had muscles his length Instead I get nightmares of my body getting bigger My waist is getting smaller and this feels like a trigger I should be sleeping but instead I am thinking that’s right I’m usin' my time lookin at the ceiling without blinking I think about how stupid I feel My life feels broken, this is so surreal Sure there can be okay things that happen Yo, we push it all back and keep on laughin’ This is my life This is my strife Just make it through the day, without grabbing a knife This is hard This is tough I really do know that most of us have it rough So we keep on going Keep on movin In four years, Many less fears… I'm transgender! I have no choice this is where I was placed But sometimes this body feels like waste Every time I get up, I get pushed back down Every time my lips curl up, they turn to a frown I wrote this song in a moment of need This song, a horrible song, is truly a plead so, yo, all you bullies please leave me alone Bro, I’m just me, please better your tone This is my life This is my strife Just make it through the day, without grabbing a knife This is hard This is tough I really do know that most of us have it rough So we keep on going Keep on movin In four years, Many less fears… I’m transgender, I’m transgender! -The Alien Named Echo (TANE) Constructive crytisism is welcome! :)
