@lemmy.blahaj.zoneWhen I was born, so was a ghost.
When anyone would look at me,
It was the ghost they'd really see.
I was a child, and couldn't tell.
I thought I was that ghost as well.
But, slowly, truth would start to show.
And when at last I let them know...
...They turned their heads and sought the ghost.
The ghost was all they wished to see.
The ghost was who they loved the most.
The ghost of who they thought me to be.
It's been so long, and still they yearn
What's only lived inside their minds.
I wonder if they'll ever learn
That while they seek what none can find,
And fail to let me into their hearts,
We both end hurt, and drift apart.

The wait
Now I finally see
There's a woman in me.
And the void in my heart
That would never depart,
And the pain that would start
Without reason at sight
-- All's explained, and alright.
And the future looks bright.
But, for now, that's my fate:
I must keep it inside.
My most beautiful side,
Which has blossomed so late,
I'm now struggling to hide.
For how long must I wait?
To be me,
To be free,
To pursuit my own glee?
Oh, how long will it be?
The path that lies ahead
Is harsh and filled with dread,
But my resolve won't wane:
I'd gladly rush, instead.
But life's forced me to refrain
And waste this time I won't regain.
Will this new life compensate
All the time I'll have to wait?
-- Lady Scarecrow
I finally decided to make an account after lurking so long.
Hi everyone. I'm a trans woman, 2-3 years into my transition, and during (and after) the process of figuring it out, I've written several poems, to try and get in touch with my feelings.
I think now's a good time to share them, and I believe many people in here will relate to them as well. I was thinking of posting them from time to time to !mtf@lemmy.blahaj.zone unless someone else has a better idea.
