How Stany Became Sarah (haikus) by Anne EngelenBorn into this world Looking like a normal man She was imprisoned
Trapped in his body Solitary confinement Been sentenced for life
Breaking out of there Was all she ever thought of She changed destiny
Not only his name But also bodily features Changed by surgery
He is now Sarah Somewhat of a curiosity But her soul's at peace!
