You say that you�re cross-dressing; please tell me it�s not true?
I simply do not understand what�s happening to you.
You say that you�re cross-dressing, what is this thing you�ve chose?
Wearing a woman�s dress and wig, makeup and pantyhose.
I cannot believe it�s happening, why are you doing this to me?
What�s it that�s got into you; aren�t you the man you used to be?
When did you start to do it, in what way have I failed you?
Could you simply not have told me what was happening to you?
I really cannot stand it, what makes you do this to me?
What has become of the man that you once used to be?
For all the years I�ve known you, you�ve never said a thing,
And now that you�ve just told me, I can�t believe anything.
Please let me tell all that has been happening to me,
And why I don�t seem to you the man that I used to be.
I really haven�t changed at all, despite all you choose to see,
I�ve wanted to cross-dress for years, but held back unnaturally.
The world outside�s not black and white as some choose to believe,
It�s lots of different shades of grey, as different as chalk and cheese.
Cross-dressing has being going on for hundreds and thousands of years,
It�s just that it�s not understood by most, who would rather follow their fears.
We�ve been programmed since we were children, on things we were meant to be,
With nothing ever being said, less written about our femininity,
It�s a basic part of our makeup; it�s the same for all women too;
They also have a masculine side, has that thought occurred to you?
It�s truly man�s deepest secret, well hidden from all within,
And yet it�s truly beautiful if you�ll accept the whim.
For when we are in our "fem attire" we are in creative mood,
And that can be more satisfying than healthy well-cooked food.
I�ve really wanted to tell of my hidden desires to dress,
No matter how hard I wanted to, I just could not confess.
I�ve now read books and surfed the net and so now understand,
That being gender dysphoric is nothing that I had planned.
You see it happens before we�re born and is beyond our own control,
It�s something that happened to my Mum that stressed her and changed my role.
Whatever did distress her I really have no idea,
It has happened to me though, and for years I�ve lived in fear.
I�ve suffered lots of anguish; I�ve suffered lots of guilt,
That somewhere, somehow my secret; would finally be spilt.
So now you know, it�s up to you. Do you me forgive?
For it�s very deep inside of me; and we�ve still got lots to give.
I�ve recently read a book by a psychiatrist, Dr Jerry Jamplosky,
It�s called "Love is letting go of fear". That�s where I�d like to be.
So now can I ask you, my dear; "Do you really want to be free"?
"Can you learn to forgive, to love and let go", so you too can be finally free.
