Butterflies

I feel the wall
Which you have
Tried to created
As a visible means
To contain people
Like me..

Never realizing
You have given us
The room needed
To blossom
Fully into ourselves.

Out of the facade
You so long
Demand from my community
Because you fear
What you do not understand.

Those days have come
To an end
Whether or not
You are ready
For this.

No longer
Shall we hide in fear
Of you
Because we are stronger
Wiser
And now whole.

Where once stood
A girl or a boy
Unsure of themselves
But your ignorance
Cured us
Of that.

So please accept
This sincere thank you
Although it means
Nothing to
A person like you.

But
Manners are manners
And rudeness
Is not a sign
Of a mature person
Would you not agree?

On this note
Must bide you
Adieu
Until next time
We meet.

Author's Note

Butterflies, are one of the symbols that the Trangender community has adopted. As we morph from the pupa into a beautiful butterfly, ready to spread it's wing, in all of it's glory.
