True To Myself

from Good 2 B Weird by Mona Vegana

/

about

I wrote this song about growing up transgender, and being bullied by my classmates, never really having any friends, and living a miserable existence prior to coming out as well as after, dealing with gender dysphoria and self-hatred.

lyrics

Verse
The cold and the frost
Won't keep my heart at bay
It knows what it wants
So you better not get in its way

Like hail raining down
A supposed sunny day
You think you are safe
Until the skies turn grey


Chorus
The lessons I learned
From years of abuse
Be true to myself
Got nothing to lose

Got broken and burnt
Betrayed and confused
Still true to myself
All bloodied and bruised

Made a fool of myself
With the cards I'd been dealt
As I cried out for help
Still true to myself

After all that I've seen
All the places I've been
I will trust no one else
Stay true to myself
