Delightful fight
I was made a son beneath the skies,
Yet stars smiled back with knowing eyes.
The heavens traced a different face,
A softer truth in hidden space.
The world declared what I should be,
A shape confined with no certainty.
Yet in the quiet, something stirred,
A truth too sacred to be heard.
They dressed me in a borrowed name,
And taught me how to play the game.
But every mirror cracked with light,
Revealing glimpses out of sight.
Within my chest a maiden dreamed,
In silver threads her spirit gleamed.
She rose each night through silent tears,
A voice that echoed patiently
She danced in shadows, wild and free,
A hidden goddess calling me
She wove her truth through every scar,
A constellation from afar.
She whispered through the midnight streams,
And stitched her presence in my dreams
She wore the moon upon her brow,
Though I could not name her now.
I wandered lost through flame and wood,
Through all the places I once stood.
Yet every wind and winged flight
Insisted I was born of light.
Then came the beast with hollow eyes,
A creature forged of grief and lies.
Addiction rose like creeping night,
And dimmed the edges of my light.
Its claws were made of doubt and shame,
It spoke to me in my own name.
It fed upon my hidden pain,
And bound me fast in endless chain.
It promised peace in silky breath,
But every touch resembled death.
It wrapped me tight in thorn and vine,
Until I thought its will was mine.
Yet deep beneath the weight and scar,
A quiet truth remained unmarred.
Through every fall, through every plea,
She waited there… remembering me.
And when at last I chose to see,
To break the chains and set me free,
The stars aligned, the sky grew wide
And I became the girl inside.
Now every scar begins to glow,
A map of all I’ve come to know.
No longer lost, no longer torn,
From shadow’s end, I am reborn.
And in the mirror, soft and clear,
She smiles back alive, and here.
Mind of a trans girl 💋
