Libre...Libre Para Expresar Poem by Ramona Thompson

Libre...libre para expresar
Take me....only as I am
I know that I am flawed
In your eyes, inperfect
Far from what you ever wanted or dreamed
Through I have tried
Tried so very hard to be that man you deserve
Changed my sex
Tried to change what was in my heart and mind
But I just can't do it
Now I wonder
In the lonely, dark still of the night
Laying so close yet not able to reach out and touch
Afraid that you won't be able to love
What a stubborn streak cannot and will not change
Will I be enough?
I can feel us
Drifting so far apart
And I know there's nothing that I can do
Nothing that I can do but ask and pray that you can
Libre...libre para expresar
Take me...only as I am
