Deep Down Inside

Deep Down Inside

A Poem by Jaiden
"

Dealing with being Transgender

"
I wake up feeling lost and alone every morning
Thinking maybe today is the day I'll become me
Maybe I'll truly smile for the first time
That never seems to be the outcome
I try my hardest to bear through the struggle
The struggle of school and ignorant people
It's easy to say you don't care what others think
But it's impossible to mean it
The stares, the name calling, the "jokes"
It all tends to get to you after awhile
Deep down, where you store your worst fears
Where you store your inner most pain
The place you hide well from others
It all comes out, all at once
There's no stopping it anymore, and it's too much
Too much for people to take in
They don't know how to help you
Because I can't even help myself
It's hard to get sympathy, when I'm misunderstood
I know there's happiness out there somewhere
I'm just beginning to wonder if it'll ever cross my path
If the lump in my throat
And the tears down my cheek
If they'll ever come to an end
That'll be when I can finally look to a brighter future
And not hurt constantly, deep down inside

They don't know how to help you
Because I can't even help myself - those two lines speak the truth, and it's pretty powerful. There's no criticism towards other people not helping, rather it's an acceptance. I like that, simply because there is no criticism of other parties.

I know there's happiness out there somewhere
I'm just beginning to wonder if it'll ever cross my path - I also like these two lines here. Again, there's the acceptance of happiness out in the world - yet there's doubt that it's ever going to grace the path of the narrator.

I like the honesty in this, I really do. :]
