This Being Transgender is My Greatest Gift
by
Jennifer Angelina Petro
This being transgender is my greatest gift.
When I think of all I have been through,
And how far I have come,
And far I have yet to go,
I am filled with a playful energy,
Because I get to play at living real life,
I get to learn to know myself
In ways most people cannot imagine,
I get to be myself,
In ways people only dream of,
I get to live a new life,
And learn to love myself
In ways I’ve only dreamed of.
My heart sings this day,
For this being transgender
Is my greatest gift.
So watch out
Here I come.
I’m not stopping for anyone.
