An Ultimatum
An ultimatum stood at my door And greeted me so fondly To the tune of my thumping heartbeat. "Live as I seem or die as I am" The words had reverberated in my skull and rattled my bones- Sick with grief and mourning Of a life never lived, A lick of air never tasted on a tongue of a new man- Not man-soon-to-be,...

I am a girl
I am a girl, Everyone sees it. I graciously accept the label, Twirling in a girls spool, And playing it up for others. Sometimes I feel an itch, In a place I can't reach. There are times when it quells, When my voice cracks, And I am somewhere else. Where my hair is to my neck, And my voice bellows. But I am brought back to reality, Because...

Trans Diagnostic Construct
A single thread, frayed by the wind, Woven from sorrow, soaked in rain, Trauma, a shadow that won’t rescind, A silent ache, a voiceless pain. In fractured glass, I see the sky, Its jagged edge cuts through my eyes, And though I reach, though I may try, The light I feel slips far away. Madness sings in cryptic tone, A hymn of loss, a...

Phantom Pain
at night, when the blue moon calls out to all wild things, its azure a calming wave in the bottomless screaming night I walk in time and with each furthering step, sweeping strides which pay more mind to any journey than its subsequent destination, I wonder what translucent fish hook has ensnared me, finding myself dragged from bed each...

Real me Part two
And I just want to be a woman But I feel too trapped in these four walls I can't break it I can't make it These traumas from family, school and life have scarred me Have shaped me Can't let it you see Because of all the things I have been through I know there...

Real me Part one
Four walls are enticing Can't get out of my own head Who is that figure in the mirror? The face that haunts me Nimble and limp - I feel misplaced Envious and boiled and ready to put on simmer Want to circle up in a ball and just tear my hair out Can't get over...

Boys will be boys Well, not this boy Don't want to Don't like to Why do I have to Don't associate It doesn't align Learnt differently Lived through my parents' eyes and expectations They became mine Fighting myself Hating myself Internal conflict It's a daily battle Bullied already Bullied at home Nowhere is safe Can't be...

Stimming Towards Euphoria She be riding on that trans train Lost her wit and half her brain Next time that I see her She won't be the woman I know All it took was a little gender education The internet and affirming friends galore To make her see what she was meant to be Cause she was born in the wrong body She...

You told me a lie You said that you were gay Found out you were lying Now I’m feeling betrayed Said you were a fem And that you loved only women Now you want to explore That haughty trans woman I’m hurting inside Cause I loved the woman in you Now you say it doesn’t matter Cause it’s what they told you to do Said you...

What do I project? Some of what I have Absorbed. Also, that which I have Reflected upon and have parts of rejected!
