"ANNABELLA"

I'd just like to say from the start,I have no desire to have my testicles removed,and never have had.When I write I tend to write about things I know nothing about.It either works or it doesn't.I was talking to someone the other day,and they were telling me they had been having a chat with a bloke waiting to have a sex change operation.I remeber long ago around 1974 having a chat to such a person in an old boarding house I lived in--and what a tragic case he or she was.I was also talking to another friend who told me of a bloke that was married,had children,but even after all that time-left his wife and children to have such an operation and move on as a woman.
I have no problem with gay people,in the past I have been friends with gay people,and until they make it compulsory have no problem them living their lives the way they see fit.I do have a problem with faggy queenie type mincers-I think they give the gay fraternity a bad name--they are fashion queers and I can't stand them(but I have no wish to bash them)
But for those poor souls trapped in a body they don't belong in I really feel for.I can't imagine how it must be to be a woman trapped in a mans body,or a man trapped in a womans body.It would be a living hell.As it was for Annabella.


ANNABELLA,CAN'T COME OUT TODAY.
FOR NOW SHE'S LOCKED INSIDE.
SHE'D JUST LOVE,TO COME OUT AND PLAY
BUT FOR DADDY'S SAKE,SHE'LL HIDE.
DADDY DOESN'T UNDERSTAND
AND MUMMY STRUGGLES TOO.
SO ANNABELLE'S KEPT SHUT AWAY.
SEEN ONLY,BY A FEW.

ANDREW,HE'LL COME OUT TODAY,
AND THOUGH HE'S TRIED AND TRIED,
SO MANY THINGS HE WANTS TO SAY
BUT HE CAN'T BREAK DADDY'S PRIDE.
CAN'T KICK A BALL,OR HOLD A BAT,
CAN'T WRESTLE,BOX OR FIGHT.
HE MUCH PREFERS THE GENTLE THINGS.
BUT HE TRIES,WITH ALL HIS MIGHT.

ONE DAY SOON,HE'LL HAVE TO SHOW,
AND LIVE ANNABELLA'S LIFE.
HE'LL NEVER BE A FATHER,
COULD NEVER TAKE A WIFE.
"LET ME OUT,LET ME OUT"
HE HEARS ANNABELLA SCREAMING.
NO REST FOR HEAD AS HE LAYS IN BED.
NO SOLACE IN HIS DREAMING.

ANNABELLA'S COMING OUT TODAY,
ITS TIME TO KISS AND TELL.
AND THOSE WHO CAN'T ACCEPT HER?
THEY ALL,CAN GO TO HELL.
"I'VE BEEN TRAPPED INSIDE FOR LONG ENOUGH,
NOW ITS TIME TO SET ME FREE.
GOODBYE ANDREW,I'M ANNABELLE,
YES MUMMY,DAD,ITS ME.

BUT,SOCIETY JUDGES HARSHLY.
HOW HURTFULL,AND CRUEL THEY SPEAK.
ITS HARD TO BE ACCEPTED,
"YOU'RE A WIERDO,YOU'RE A FREAK".
BUT WHY? WHY CAN'T THEY UNDERSTAND?
PLEASE HELP ME,IF YOU CAN.
I'M JUST ANOTHER WOMAN,
IN THE BODY OF A MAN.
