for leelah alcorn

they should have let him be
what he wanted to be

is it so wrong to be a she?

i'm confused with labels
writing this

but it would have been bliss
for him
to walk the world as easily
as i do

as a lady
shining in the sun

for all the times i feel
cursed with my life

i should stop
and remember the he
that only wanted to be free

as the she he was meant to be

(live)
