Phenomenal Trans

You call me an abomination,
I call me UNIQUE.
You call me confused,
I call me DEFINED.
You call me a freak
I call me a HUMANBEING.
You call me disgusting,

I call me...
BEAUTIFUL, STRONG, INTELLIGENT
PHENOMENAL TRANS!
Your words can not,
Define me.
Your words can not,
Bind me to the chains
You demand I wear
To make you feel superior?

There's nothing to fear here

I'M A PHENOMENAL TRANS...

Hello,

I really enjoyed reading your poem. Although I am not Trans, I am learning to build more self- confidence in myself for wich I have found this poem to be relatable. The recognized the beauty of you overcoming the haters in your life within this poem. Your strength is inspiring!
