From childhood I was fascinated by My mom's saree, the colours, the patterns, The beauty of variety of dresses And ornaments. I have seen the night sky draping itself With many stars of twinkling colours And at last wearing the most Precious pendant: the moon! I have seen the sky wearing Clouds as bangles coloured by The magical sun. I have seen the sky wearing Rainbows as earrings. No! I'm not allowed to enjoy this Because I'm a boy! (Please read the caption...) Though I have one body But I'm opposite. A boy by sex And a girl by gender. To whom I should surrender? To the hormones; my psychosocial urges? Or to the genital organs As society would discriminate me
