RANSVESTIA

try to understand because you really care, my heart begins to grow wings, very small wings, very feeble wings, but wings.

With your sensitivity and sympathy, and your power of understanding, you can breathe life into me.

I want you to know that,

I want you to know how important you are to me, how you can be a creator of the person that is me if you choose to.

Please choose to.

You alone can break down the wall behind which I tremble, you alone can remove my mask, you alone can release me from my shadow world of panic and uncertainty; from my lonely prison. So do not pass me by,

Please don't pass me by.

It will not be easy for you.

A long conviction of worthlessness builds strong walls.

The nearer you approach to me, the blinder I may strike back. It's irrational, but despite what the books say about man, I am irrational.

I fight against the very thing I cry for.

But I am told that love is stronger than strong walls,

In this lies my hope.

My only hope.

Please try to beat down those walls with firm hands but with gentle hands for a child is very sensitive.

Who am I you may wonder? I am someone you know very well. For, I am every man you meet, And, I am every woman you meet.
