The Real Me
Singers only sing because they can,it's an art they have mastered or are still trying to master.As for me,my art is also singing.The dark helps me ease my voice,and at times I hear someone singing to me,calling me forth.Urging me to sing.
Night time sharpens
Heightens each sensation
Darkness wakes
And stirs imagination
Silently the senses
Abandon their defenses
Helpless to resist the notes I write
For I compose the music of the night
When people look at me,they don't see the real me.Just a tough outerside,not the soft inside.At night I do my best to change my look.A wig,makeup,clothes.Anything to make me look like the real me.The girl me.I sneak out to the local night club.Did I say I had to use a wig?No,my hair is just like a girls.But I do curl it.
Slowly, gently
Night unfurls its splendor
Grasp it, sense it
Tremulous and tender
Turn your face away
From the garish light of day
Turn your thoughts away from cold unfeeling light And listen to the music of the night
My name is Melanie.Melanie Katherine Kaiba.Does it sound beautiful?I think it does.The other night I tried to confront my brother on the real me,but as soon as I started talking he had to leave.So that left me with the oppurtunity to leave.After applying my makeup,I tried to decide what to wear.The black mini skirt or the purple?The black halter top or the pink blouse with flowers?
Close your eyes
And embelish on your darkest dreams,
Purge all thoughts of the life you knew before,
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar
And you'll live like you've never lived before
So I decided on the dark purple silk blouse,the black leather mini skirt,fishnets,a pair or black pumps,and a black choker would work.I lightly coated my lips with Rasberry Red lip gloss.Black khol went around my eyes with the mascara.For my hair,I flattened it and put it into large curls.After looking in the mirror,I was satisfied.I was happy.
Softly, deftly
Music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it
Secretly possess you
Open up your mind
Let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night
I know what the kids at school would say.They would call me mean things.Hateful things.Faggot.Fag.Gay.Fairy.Queer.Girl.Sissy.Wimp.Wuss.Pervert.Freak.Mutant.Homo.Tinkerbell.Twinkletoes.Tinky Winky.The works.
Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world,
leave all thoughts of the world you knew before,
let your soul take you where you long to be,
only then can you belong to me.
I'm walking to the night club now.I know it isn't safe to walk in the dark at night,especially since I look like a hooker.Oh well,here I am.Time to sing my words,my feeling.No one can hurt me now.
Floating, falling
Sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me
Savor each sensation
Let the dream begin
Let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night
As I sing people actually listen.In 4th grade I told my friends that I was going to join choir.They just called me a sissy,so that changed my mind about the whole thing.Once I am done,they are clapping for me.No one ever claps for me...so this makes me feel very good.I curtsy for them,ready to say who I am to them.
You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night
My name is Melanie Katherine Kaiba.But my friends and family and everyone else know me as Mokuba.That isn't me.I'm a girl,born in a boys body.You may call me a freak.You may call me beautiful.Just don't call me a boy.This is the real me.The me that you now know.Hello world,Im Melanie.
