Real me Part two

And I just want to be a woman But I feel too trapped in these four walls I can't break it I can't make it These traumas from family, school and life have scarred me Have shaped me Can't let it you see Because of all the things I have been through I know there is good people out there And good people make me want to fight Make me want to believe that there is hope And when there are tears - there is hope When there is life - there is hope So I must keep going Even though I am setbacked Living with my parents and on universal credit Just got to get on with it And just be me And if people can't see me I will just have to style it And tell myself that I am beautiful I am loved And that I am valid Even if I transition or not I got to keep telling myself this and say to myself "I am a woman" Despite what people may say And what the media says And what the government tries to do in order to set back people like myself Because I am fighter you see There have been times in my life where I have been overwhelmed, anxious and depressed, stressed and in despair There have been times where I have been lazy because I gave up on life You see But I am still here You see And I will always be here Through the thick and thin Whether you like it or not I am a woman
