"I would give everyone my book if I could / Hoping that somehow I might be understood"


Poem Artwork

Transcendental Sonnet #1399:

An Honest Gift of Love

 

My new book is black with a picture of me

On the front and the back in the middle

The letters of the title shine in gold

With my name in foil as the fruit of my toil

 

The design is suggestive of riddle

And of the secrets those black covers hold

For adventurers whose curiosity

Would lead them astray from the commonday bland

To enigmas of my heart drawn by my hand

 

I would give everyone my book if I could

Hoping that somehow I might be understood

Something new for the few for those with a true

Heart open hand open mind to understand

An honest gift of love from me to you

 

+Steven Curtis Lance

Steve I wish you luck. As one with an endearing and loving heart, you are a very good writer, and I understand about being misunderstood. I was so misunderstood all of my life until I came here to AD...really. I have only gay and transgendered friends. My straight "friends" think that I can change "back" into a man. But...how can I change into something I have never been??? People that surround me, think that just because I have had this male body for 56½ years, that I know how a man thinks. I know how we women think because all of my life I have had a female mind. But people have always tried to change me to their way of life. So I understand completely about being misunderstood, abused both physically and mentally. Why is it that the ones who are generous to a fault and kind have to suffer the most??? Why??? May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, stubborn to a fault, joy tot he world, peacfe on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little terrified sister, Barbie
