I Wish

I wish I could use public restrooms without being afraid.
I wish I wasn't uncomfortable in my body.
I wish I wasn't assigned female at birth.
I wish others would use my correct name and pronouns.
I wish people would see that there's more to me than just a label.
I wish I had a supportive family.
I wish I didn't live in rural missouri. 
I wish my peers would be more kind.
I wish my country wasn't so against my existence .
I wish others would not see seven years of being out as ¨just a phase¨.
I wish I could be me.
Unapologetically me.
