I never hated you but I am sorry
sorry for making you lie
sorry for making you hide behind the disguise
with a fake smile on the lips of your made-up face
sorry I couldn’t help you with the feelings of being wrong
the wrong person
the wrong time
the wrong place
but I never hated you
and I am sorry you had to be
what they all wanted to see
a girl with a made-up face
and I felt your tears cry
asking me why
why you needed to be a girl
when we both knew you were a boy
and all I could say is the time isn’t right
the world isn’t right
the world isn’t safe
but I never hated you
and I am sorry for those battles of self
the anger and rages
as we raced against time
a race for survival in the dark lonely nights
each battle fought in your mind
and I felt your fight weaken and knew
the time had come to step in
by stepping out in the world
taking over the fight for our identity
and I will always take you with me
you, the girl I used to be
me, the man I am now
always one in reality
for I never hated you
because you are me
