I'd Rather Die! <br />By <br />Barbara Lynn Terry <br /> <br />I'd rather die, <br />Than live this lie <br />of being a man, <br />Cause you see I am, <br />This little girl in me, <br />And I wish my body could be, <br />the female that is my soul. <br />I am always told <br />That because my body is male, <br />That I must be a man, <br />When I know a girl I am. <br />I love to wear pretty dresses, <br />Have my hair in long curly tresses. <br />To play jump rope, jacks and hopscotch. <br />But because my body is male, <br />And they will not publish my tale, <br />And cannot love the man, <br />Who would accept me as I am, <br />I'd rather die, <br />Than live this constant lie.<br /><br />Barbara Lynn Terry<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-d-rather-die/
