Prayers for Our Teens
Too social for suicide
But no one sees
The deep affliction
That's inside and outside of me
By God's good grace
I live every day
If you could call it living
Please pray.....

Try to cover up and keeping on doing good
Is it this or is it that
I'm transgender and that's a fact
Transphobia spread like air through lungs
Making the weak pick up thier guns
I'm at the end of my rope too
Hopefully everything will again pull through

Work every night
For the cost of surgery
The cost of living
And the stretching of me
But this is what we have to do
Just thank god
It isn't you
