A Little Bit of Me

A little bit of me is just a fade away

I hear you talk to me today

And I finally hear the truth

I am not man enough

I am only half a man

Because I am a trans man

My head is spinning

My heart is broken in a million pieces

For you said what my family wanted to say to me

But he was just another victim of the night

Fading like whispers in a crowded room

Life echoes softly in the spaces unseen

The night is closing in around him

How can they be so blind

Chasing dreams that slip away like ghosts I’ve seen

A little bit of me

Is all you’re willing to see

I am practically invisible

And

Love lingers in shadows where we’ve never been

And

This has me holding onto life for now

Yet death is around the little corner

A heartbeat lost, hidden just like a foreigner

In this prison of flesh

And the light begins to fade

Caught in the silence where memories cascade

I am alone in this place

A flicker of hope falls from the sky

Brightness fades and the darkness paints

All the years of suffering and pain

Remembering how it used to be

Holding onto dreams like they’re slipping through rain

But my own heart remains an empty space

I have seen the shadows of the past

I have no more tears to cry

I am alone in this dying maze

I intend to embrace this sacred place

The cold of the night takes me away

Ghosts of the past whisper in dismay

My hands are cold my thoughts are weak

Tomorrow will end here today
