What do you see,
When you look at me?
Outward looks do deceive.
Trying my best so you believe.
I tell you now that Im in pain,
I hope this isnt written in vain.
I have one wish, one hope, one dream,
To be what I am and not what I seem.
My dream is this, tried and true,
To look less like me and more like you.
After you read this, I wont care what you think,
All I know is that someday I won't have to wear pink.

Place At The Edge Of 2 Worlds.
The front range of the Colorado Rockies
is a place at the edge of two worlds:
the mountains, majestic and wild,
and the plains, boundless and fertile.
It is a place where the skies
are often turbulent but always beautiful.
It is a metaphor for those
who dare dance at the edge of
the worlds of men and women
and an inspiration.
My brother is a crossdresser,
I found him wearin' clothes,
They were the ones, that he truly chose,
Lacy & frilly, & all the latest rage,
Just as if, he'd stepped off a, some catalog page!
I still love him, as I did before,
Even when he's ready, to walk out the door.
Granted, it's not the easiest tale to tell,
But, I'd never, announce, "He's goin' ta ____"!
You see, I've been, 'round the block myself,
I haven't, spent my life, a sittin' on a shelf.
I've come, to realize, just how cruel, I could be,
If I felt, I had all the answers, nothing more to see!
The Earth did shake,
As I tried to wake,
From slumbers long and hard.
Finding else, that I could take,
A cure, a remedy, my stake,
End it all, the final card.
But now I know,
There's places to go,
And people's lives to touch,
Purpose, yes, and loved so much,
Going, Going, On.
The past was tense,
Didn't make any sense,
'Til I opened up my eyes.
Hope was gone,
As I drifted on,
Time to ignore the cries.
Now and then,
I think back again,
To what it was really like.
Glad that I know,
Just how far I'll go,
In pursuit of my true life.

Do you scream inside?
Eyes opened wide,
To look to the depths of your soul.
Crying out from within,
Wanting to begin,
To understand what's goin' on.
Places you've been,
Going back again,
To reach for the ultimate truth.

Finally I see,
who I really am,
a prince living locked,
up in my own dugeon,
the key waiting for me,
just outside the door.
It will take alot of power,
and alot of my time,
but hopefully in the end,
I can unlock the true me.
Chandra.
please,
tell me it's not true,
please tell me,
suicide's not what
you're going to do.
Chandra.
gentle princess,
I am here for you,
there to give you comfort,
for the path that you choose.
Chandra.
eccentric witch,
don't let them get to you,
ignore what they said,
don't let them rain on your parade.
Chandra.
graceful swan,
you don't swim alone,
for us ugly ducklings,
are joyed by your presence,
for you have the courage,
to fly away.
Chandra.
mother nature of today,
you taught me not to fear,
to live the my life as,
who I truly am,
to be me,
a boy,
who misses you.

I have been getting alot of messages/note/IMs/emails about how I knew I was transgendered, and what to do about it, and how to come out, and other similar questions. So I decided to start a little organization. It is called: Long Way To Happiness. It is for people to talk to me about problems or issues that are going on.
NOTE: WHAT WE TALK ABOUT WILL BE CONFIDENTIAL, WHICH MEANS THAT I WILL NOT SHARE DISCUSSED INFORMATION WITH ANYONE ELSE. XD

I know I haven't done anything on DA recently, except poetry. I 've been caught up in love. With my darling Sheila. She's all I can think about, and yes, I do have lots of mushy gushy poetry about her. But I'm going to update it after the dance. (On June 21st) Of course I'm taking Sheila. Anyway, I have exams for the next 2 weeks, and I'm crammed with work, I barely have time to even write this. But I thought I would so you guys know I'm ok and alive. School lets out on the 29th of June. Only 10 more school days (not including weekends) It's going to be so amazing. ME and Sheila together forever. I'm going to take alot of photos so I'm going
