Hi all.. a week or so ago i put this together with the thought of a R&B style with the chorus of rap.. It is my first attempt and still dont have a titile for it. any and all susggestion welcome plus what you think of it etc.
Oh.. I can not sing or put together the tune.. but one out of three isn't bad..

When you going to accept me for a matter of care
And not for the clothes that I wear
When you going to be a good local
Sing along with me and help me be more vocal
Accept me for who I am and not for whom you think I should be

The world is not just black and white
There are many different colours, cultures and those in plight
My life wearing the opposite gender’s clothes
Should not be met with woes
And having to keep me up on my toes

(Chorus)
Yes I’m talking to you
The one with the narrow view
Open your mind, your heart and let’s go for a brew
We are supposed to be at an accepting stage, in this day and age
Not just to colour, creed but to multi-gender generation
Let’s have a good chat, a pleasant conversation

Don’t just see me for the clothes that I wear
Know I am normal and that I care
Don’t judge me like a hard book cover
But get to know me one page and then another
That I too was born of a mother and a father

I’m fed up of hiding
And want to be out there striding
Not what you see is what you get
There’s no need to fear or threat
You can’t catch it, it’s not a disease
With your help it can be a breeze

(Chorus)
Yes I’m talking to you
The one with the narrow view
Open your mind, your heart and let’s go for a brew
We are supposed to be at an accepting stage, in this day and age
Not just to colour, creed but to multi-gender generation
Let’s have a good chat, a pleasant conversation

I’m straight as an arrow and straight to the point
Just cause you see me in a skirt or a dress
Does not mean in my head or my life is a mess
I still have feelings, I still bleed, and you know that from Shakespeare
I am here for life and not just as a sightseer

When you going to accept me for a matter of care
And not for the clothes that I wear
When you going to be a good local
Sing along with me and help me be more vocal
Accept me for who I am and not for whom you think I should be

(Chorus)
Yes I’m talking to you
The one with the narrow view
Open your mind, your heart and let’s go for a brew
We are supposed to be at an accepting stage, in this day and age
Not just to colour, creed but to multi-gender generation
Let’s have a good chat, a pleasant conversation

Yes I’m talking to you
The one with the narrow view
Open your mind, your heart and let’s go for a brew
We are supposed to be at an accepting stage, in this day and age
Not just to colour, creed but to multi-gender generation
Let’s have a good chat, a pleasant conversation

Hi all.. no comment as yet i see.. Too blunt? straight to the point? not ready for the public?... all comments and thoughts welcome

Pauline

Pauline,

A form of therapy is to write, be it a journal or poems or as you have done, even songs, a version of poetry. I think your song has some very interesting thoughts and I for one can certainly associate myself with some of them.

Thank you for sharing. I'm sure you echo the thoughts of many of our sisters here as well and I look forward to hearing their thoughts as well.

Hugs, Paige

OK, comments..... Well as Paige said, writing is indeed a good form of therapy and it looks like you are baring your soul through those lyrics and that's great. Hmm, a 'serious' crossdressing song?Well, I'm not a rap fan but I suppose it might work, although I've never been able to identify with the message of guns and violence which seems to permeate that particular genre.

Generally speaking, I'm actually more of a melody kind of gal so that's what catches my attention in a song first, so if you ever come up with a good melody, I think your lyrics would resonate with any of us here. It would IMHO, work better as a ballad if you want people to take your 'message' seriously. If you choose a more up tempo song, that message may get lost because for me, ballads have far more resonance.

Hi Ladies

A melody could work but as i am not musically tallented someone else would have to come up with a tune to go with it.. i did state i couldnt put together a tune.. lol

I never thought of it as a poetry as that is something that i couldnt get my head round at school.. suppose your never to young to learn..
