Joined At Birth, Anima
To be of nature apart from myself
And find its meaning is threaded from birth
To be male or female, to be one self
As two are one, its strange value or worth
To find there is beauty to pursue
To be male , yet be gentle to comply
And understand empathy has value
To see a feminine world through a male eye
Grounded in confidence of one's skin
Accept each heart felt burden, to forgive
To not think emotion revealed a sin
Allowing sensitivity to live
To grasp we're born from both male and female
To know two form one, on life's weighted scale
