In between
A taste from two chalice’s
Sour and sweet
Two cups of humanity
A strong and a weak
The keys to two kingdom's
Are secretly mine
So few understand
Why it feels so divine
With mind of a woman
And body of man
I'm caught in the middle
Of God’s mysterious plan
Joyous I shout
These wonderful dreams
Crossing boundaries of gender
That to most are unseen
Never did I ask for this
And I fought it for years
But I now know it's a blessing
And I can't hide my tears
It might sound confusing
But some understand
How it feels to be me
In this in-between land
