Warning: This poem covers my experience with being trans, it won't be the same for everyone, and it's not something to be used for anything. It's just... emotions. It gets hard, but so does life.
I wish I were a girl.
Or that I could at least choose.
I wish my brain matched my body,
That I could look in the mirror and not want to cry.
I hate my body.
I hate my brain,
I hate my heart,
I hate it all.
I hate my mouth, how it speaks too soon,
My heart, how it loves too late
I hate my body with every fiber of it.
How my chest sticks out, even in a binder
How I'm too short to even look like a short guy,
How my hair grows too fast,
How I eat,
How I breathe,
How I live.
I wish I were a girl,
So I could give them what they want.
So I could live my life,
Love who I love,
And not be judged, or have them judged.
And don't get me wrong, I'm proud of who I am,
Proud of my identity
But
The bible quotes spat in hate have done their job.
My siblings words hit their mark,
My heart.
It hurts, I'm so sick of it, I wish it wouldn't
I wish I were a girl.
