I stand here frozen
Trapped in one place
I look towards the horizon
But I stare into space
My mind wonders how
I could have been so dense
My heart and emotions
Overrule logic and common sense
Reflecting on time
Spent draped in a black velvet cloud
The circumstances that led me
To permit treatment I should never have allowed
Viewing my life
Through a sea of gossamer foam
I am faced with the image
Of a person I’ve never known
A realization
That shook me to my core
Transformed into a woman
I could be no more
No longer frozen
No longer transfixed in one place
Looking forward to a future
Filled with loves warming embrace

I stand here frozen
Trapped in one place
I look towards the horizon
But I stare into space
My mind wonders how
I could have been so dense
My heart and emotions
Overrule logic and common sense
Reflecting on time
Spent draped in a black velvet cloud
The circumstances that led me
To permit treatment I should never have allowed
Viewing my life
Through a sea of gossamer foam
I am faced with the image
Of a person I’ve never known
A realization
That shook me to my core
Transformed into a woman
I could be no more
No longer frozen
No longer transfixed in one place
Looking forward to a future
Filled with loves warming embrace
