Transgenders typically feel locked in the wrong body.

What happens when you're trapped in the wrong world?

There isn't an operation that can reverse life.

To start it over.

But there is many to end it.

What happens when the world you live in is too corrupt?

Why keep pressing?

It's as if there is a familiar locking us to this world 

To existance 

How do we get rid of this anchor?

Treat those around us poorly? 

So when you leave all that's left is a bitter taste in the mouth

The thought of you will forever burn a fire from within

Within those you pushed away 
Within those you disapionted 

There is no perfect cure for anything in this world 

Especially depression

The darkness will forever haunt you 

Those around you 

And those closest to you

There is no escaping your mind

Your biggest demon in the end 

Is always going to be

You.

I suffer from depression and I have started to write about it in many forms and this is my latest poem.
