Tick-tock, I hear the constant clicking at the back of my skull as though someone shot the back of my mind with an invisible gun. Tick-tock, always reminding me pain is never too far away from me. Tick-tock, gender dysphoria is looking in the mirror and feeling physical pain of being someone you already are. Wishing to be something you aren't. Tick-tock, gender dysphoria is feeling every fiber of your being tearing away at each cell wanting you to scream in agony in it's wake. Tick-tock, gender dysphoria is feeling like you are this thing no one wants and letting the loneliness swallow you whole. Tick-tock, gender dysphoria is always feeling like you aren't enough to anyone. Tick-tock, you never know how much time you have until your time is up. Luckily, I am not dying young.
