Went back to writing poetry after long a long pause
I am trans
and I have known
for months
and have never shown
I want another body
this isn't a phase
but have told nobody
in my personal space
I hate my curves
I hate my chest
I hate feeling like somebody less
I am trans, we exist
and I'm a f****** feminist
if I don't fit your world
Just let me be
but hear my words
I'll always be me
I want to be masculine
and I want a beard.
this isn't about being feminine
This is about being heard
I'll wear my skirt
I'll wear my dress
but only if my shirt
doesn't show my chest
I am trans, we exist
so stop pretending that I don't fit
I'm not her,
I'm not she
I am him
and always will be
