Poem: "Alive, Dead or In-Between"

    The day that people see me
    When they look in my direction
    Is a day that I long to finally see
    But when I'm talked about, I'm really unmentioned

    The only one people see is a fictional character
    That I'm replaced with for their eyes
    And to them the real me doesn't matter
    They turn away as this scared girl cries

    And all they see is a boy
    It's as plastic as a cheap toy
    I'm unnoticed in plain sight
    It makes me want to take that final flight
    Because I don't want to live unseen
    If I'm not alive, I'd rather be dead than in-between

    But I just go hurting forever, forever hurt
    Feeling completely terrified and alone
    All bridges remain broken and burnt
    Leaving the girl I am to be unknown

    So this girl cries herself to sleep
    And that day remains a dream
    Leaving this male body, a cardboard cut-out
    A day I continue to dream about
