Burning in agony
He and she called out
Their identity in the shadows
A calling to equalize
A calling to balance
The pain
The suffering
As we spoke in the abyss
We want freedom
We want a blatant calling
In a burst of art
They screamed
In a burst of tears
She cried aloud
We want it to be our world
Not the angst of people
But the subtle balance of gender
A subtle balance of sex
Blood red eyes piercing souls
Asking for justice
Asking for acceptance
A smile to suffice the reality
We live in a world of imbalance
Yet we want a balance
Even if we don’t change ourselves
The end of a dark tunnel
A scintillating light of hope
We want pleasure
We want care for our unborn
For motherhood, we must speak
Yet we stand silent
In a dark alley
We scream to appease others
We want a guiding light
Sexuality shrieks in silence
I want to be known
Glorifying the term
Yet we turn a blind eye
Our blindness will punish us
But we must brace for consequences
I want a balance
In this imbalanced world
I want my voice to be loud
I want to scream
Give me freedom
Give me identity
Give me equality
Give me rights
Give me my life
Give me choice
I burn in agony, but no more
I shall not burn anymore
As they screamed for balance,
They earned balance,
But a long way to go.
