Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Stuck

I never should have been a man.
Being a man put me in here,
In prison where my change began
Into a woman, that was clear
To me was what I had to do.
Treatments made me more feminine.
I legally changed my name too.
But authorities kept me in
A men's prison, and would not pay
For any sex change surgery.
It's hell in here, needless to say,
Stuck in a body that's not me.

Just because I murdered my wife,
I'm sentenced to be male for life.
