Chromosome Identity Crisis


You possess the body of a man,
yet you have so many feminine leanings
cascading through your mind
It makes you cry on the inside,
the way some people treat you so bad
Even your close friends make you wonder
if their motives are sincere
Do they wanna rule over you,
redefine and dictate you
because of your sensitive nature
You love being treated like a queen,
and you get so afraid of your rage
when others treat you cruel, treat you mean
And you don't understand why 
you were given the physique of a man
You hate your big, strong masculine hands
Dreaming always of having the shape of a woman
Chromosome identity crisis program is running,
and you can't self-destruct the genetic code
Now you sing the condemned song
of a battle weary, testosterone trapped soul
You sing with fury,
filling your spirit with such fierce self-hate
Your passionate, accusatory cries against God
will prevent you from entering those pearly gates

We don't share all the same beliefs, Freddie, but this is a darn good poem, skillful, real description of one tough thing.
