I thought I was male But wearing that mask took all my strength And the knots in my chest got too tight Dysphoria was literally killing me Not relating to men got too much Relating with women got too attractive And impossible to keep passing up There could really be only one answer It shouldn't have been hard to see I had to break free from my prison cell I had to reveal the true me And in these two years of growing Becoming who I've always been I've experienced so many wondrous things And delight in them again and again From makeup to jewelry To perfumes and shoes A thousand shades of polish And clothes from pink to blue I now sleep like a baby Happily innocent and free There's no more stress or pressure inside Just a beautiful woman that's me Lj Mark 2015
