This could apply to people too. I am male-to-female pre-operative transsexual, and this could very well be applied to my people also, or any race for that matter. People hunt us down, beat us up, kill us, maim us, laugh in our faces, while calling us the nastiest of names. We are sent to prison for crimes we never committed, we are sent to mental institutions, because the mainstream considers us mentally ill. We are disowned by our friends, families, co-workers and fired from our jobs.
The hunted can very well be us.
Welcome to WDC, and I hope your experiences here are good ones, and that we become a part of your extended family, like WDc has become mine.
What would I change here? Nothing. This is perfect, in this little girl's humble opinion.
WRITE ON!!!!!!
With best wishes always,

I had a hard time with this one, which means I am very tired. But then I have been constantly tired since I got out of the hospital last month. Oh well my time is 22:58, not good, but good for me tho.
I am saving my GPs for my continued membership, I do hope that you understand.

"If I have to be this girl in me, Then I have the right to be."
VCHPB this is a very heartfelt write, and some of the feelings in here are mine also. When I first got online in 2002, WinMX was going strong, and I had gon into a few of the rooms. My fear of men had led me to male-bashing and quite a few of the guys took that as a bad attitude. Then when one guy found out I was transsexual, he started calling all kinds of nasty names. I fired right back at him and told him that he didn't bother me, and male-bashing was my favorite past time, and if he kept it up, I would make sure he felt lower thatn a snake's belly (giggles).
When men tell that they love, and mean it, I get really scared because I have been badly beaten, bruised, sexually molested, and add to that mental anguish. All of this was by boys and men alike. So I became a recluse, isolated, and only talked online when home computers became a "normal" thing.
Thnx for sharign these feelings, because I can relate.

"If I have to be this girl in me, Then I have the right to be."
Dear sweet confetti, this is how I felt when my mother disowned me whenI was 12 years old. Solitude was my refuge for 5½ years, because she signed away her parental rights, and buried me in an institution. That institution transferred me to another one, and I cried, literally for those 5½ years. Why does a parent disown a child that had done nothing wrong. I will never know because she took that reason to her grave on Feb. 2nd 1997, when she passed away of lung cancer. I will always love her tho, because I look exactly like her. But even at that, my heart will never mend, because my bittersweet memories will never end, as my tears will never dry. But my love for my mother will never die.
Thnx for sharing this heart rendering piece.

OMG! This is so true. I have often had days like this. I just sit at my keyboard, not wishing to wander outside. And it doesn't matter if it is winter, spring, summr or fall. There are those dog day afternoons and evenings, that I just want the world to go away.
Nice Write, and welcome to WDC. I hope all your experiences here are good ones, and that the people here become a part of your family, as they have mine.

ps: I am saving my GPs for 3 more months of continued upgraded membership. I hope that you understand. That is why I gave you 5 stars. I really do like this.
Bookworm, this is a very fine poem, and I did enjoy reading it. True poetry is just as you say. I like to think of poetry as thoughts of the mind that just jump right in. That is so true. My poems reflect my life, and my stories are the life I should have had. But Poetry is the real writing, because it bares our souls for all to read.

Barbe I am giving you another 5 stars. Your ability to write for children is exquisite. Thank you for bring a little light into this little girl's heart and soul. I really liked these two stories I have read and rated. You are a very fine writer.
With best wishes always,

"If I have to be this girl in me, Then I have the right to be."
Barbe, this is so beautiful. It is so heartfelt and from deep in your soul. I am sure that your daughter was delighted to go the land of fairy dreams.
I wish I would have had a mother like you, to tell me such a beautiful story. But she disowned and abandoned me when I was 12 years old. I spent the next 5 1/2 years in institutions, and I had never done anything wrong.
Thnx Barbe for sharing this wonderful and heartfelt story. I really enjoyed reading it.
Sam this is perfect, and reflects feelings I have had since being a little girl. Your third stanza is my life in a nutshell, so they say. I give you five stars, because of the heartfelt and very soulful feelings behind the writing of this poem.
Thnx for sharing this with us.

"If I have to be this girl in me, Then I have the right to be."
Can you hear me?
I’m calling you silently.
Now I’m screaming,
aren’t you listening?
These lines brought back very vivid memories of my dark years, in which I had no control over my mother disowning and abandoning me. For 5½ years I cried for her to come and take me home. But That wouldn't be until I was 18, and then only because I had no place to go.
But this poem is tragic, because it ends a relationship. Thnx for sharing this with us.

Stormy, this is a really good story of a single mom with chronic depression. I have a mild depression syndrome, and I take Cymbalta for it. Plus, I have heart meds and pain pills also. But it does nothing for my pain, because my pain is in my heart, deep in my soul, so scarred with terror stricken nightmares.
Hopefully the pain will eventually go away. But I am not holding my breath.
Thnx for sharing Stormy Lady.

I like this StarStorm. There are spelling errors throughout the whole story, but other than that, this is very well written, and the plot is stable. The descriptions between the two towns, is well thought out. Thnx for sharing this wonderful story...so far.
Welcome to WDC, and I hope every experience here is a good one, and that the people you meet will become your extended family, as they have mine.

"If I have to be this girl in me, Then I have the right to be."
My wish for true love, I fear, will never be for me. I have been abandoned by those who say they love me, except for my family now. My entire birth family, and scattered birth relatives, have disowned me, abandoned me, and made sure I would be tortured enough so I would always look far into my soul for answers, they weren't going to give me.
My mother abandoned and disowned me when I was 12 years old, and sent me to an institution. If she didn't want me, why didn't she just have me sent to a foster home? Or to the very nice family in upper Michigan who knew me all of my life?
There is sadness in these eys, terror stricken scars deep in my soul, and knowledge of abuse I shouldn't even have.
Thnx for sharing, but this brought back memories so terrifying, I cried.

"If I have to be this girl in me, Then I have the right to be."
You are so right too tho. There are parents in the world, that should have done something other than have children. My mother was such a parent, disowning me, and abandoning me when I was 12 years old, and I had never done anything wrong.
When a parent has no love for her or his children, then that parent should give that child to an adoption agency, not to an institution.
Thnx for sharing anyway, this did bring back some very horrific memories, and made me cry, because this is so true, it isn't even funny.
With best wishes always,
your friend,
Barbara
