The eventual execution of her (ftm coming out)

Bystanders whisper of my mutation

Scrutiny of the metamorphosis

Grief-stricken by her murder

Tormented by his appearance

Few understand the reality of this case

He had been trapped in the murkiness

Waiting for someone to storm the prison of her

Screaming

Pleading

To be Heard

Begging

Yearning

To be detected

She was never meant to be

That she was certain on

A mercy killing.
