On the church steps sits a boy in a skirt and a button up shirt A book lies on the skirt of the boy in a skirt and a button up shirt "Why are you not inside?" I ask the boy in a skirt and a button up shirt "They kicked me out" Replies the boy in a skirt and a button up shirt The church has "All are welcome" on its doors, refuses the boy in a skirt and a button up shirt "What's your name?" I ask the boy in a skirt and a button up shirt Nothing is said by the boy in a skirt and a button up shirt I adjust my skirt and button up my shirt, as a girl in pants and a blouse welcomes me, the boy in a skirt and a button up shirt

On The Church Steps
My transition is like a flower, it grows and blossoms, blooms in its own way, with its own colors, My transition is like a canvas, I design and paint it according to my ideas, a painting so unique and wild, My transition is like an empty book, I fill the pages with my thoughts and feelings, a book that shows how much I have achieved My transition is a wonderful process, a unique journey without a destination.

Transition
It isn’t fair anymore You get the fun of wanting to be alive You get the pleasure of living You’re not trapped Why do you get that right? Why wasn’t I allowed that too? Did I do something wrong? I was just a baby I want to do something to make it up Something to show I deserve it just like you It just isn’t fair anymore You get that joy of not being stuck I can’t see It’s too dark Explain to me how that’s fair Why does everyone get that but me The food passes by But what’s the point Why do I need to prove myself? Show how much I need this I don’t want anything It’s a right Not a privilege Can I stay with you? There’s enough room for me too I’m tired When I sleep it’s okay But I can’t sleep all the time

*****
The world is hollow And I am just a guy I find it hard to swallow, But logic must apply Without it, I am lost There's no alternative I wish I knew the cost To live how I want to live

Hollow
I have heard someone say That I'll always be conic, But I find, in a way, That the thought is quite comic As it's clear that my gains Come by means of a tonic, I'll eschew needless pains 'Cause my shape is iconic! (Though I wish in my heart That my words were ironic, I have known from the start That I'll always be conic)

An Intersection
You can't erase your face. You can't retrace or displace the lines you dislike. Some people try. Why? At best it makes a mess. Why am I upset by a little extra bone? The external effects of my natural testosterone? How can a bit of unwanted hair excite despair? Why do I care? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *I pointlessly worry about silly points like the size of my shoulders or my knee and thumb joints. My hairline, my brow ridge, the shape of my nose, my masculine pelvis, my crooked man toes...* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My eyes are fine -- My only feature I like. My shy smile is alright but not too wide 'cause of my overbite -- -- the size of those incisors! Now, some would say that I'm just vain, so self-obsessed I've gone insane. But I would say that's how we're trained, At least in this day and age. Others might paint me like Dorian Gray praying to Satan for youth to stay, but I just wish it hadn't gone this way. Why would you keep your looks immutable if you were never to begin with beautiful?

Episode
Vocal ingenuity A generous gratuity I wish could be removed from me But I would still write poetry --Which someone else would have to read As from the page the inkblots plead "Give us a voice!" the letters said Without a voice they would be dead But no-one reads my poetry And so its voice is left to me To show the World, or just to try Be truly heard before I die

Pitch!
Cross your arms Hold your breath After a while, All will be right. Close your eyes Then open again- Time is renewed. You'll make it though the night. Deep inhale, Sharp exhale. Keep the rhythm. They won't know. Just say hi, and move on past. This is the day. Keep carrying though. You'll keep living because Today is not your last. You pass as cis. You've made it, dear. You're important. You matter to me. I need you here. You can do this. Don't bother what they say. Just let it be.

Passing
Despite the number of YouTube videos in the world, there are none titled, "If I had been a boy we would have dated, but now I've transitioned sooooo???" and it gives me anxiety.

I can't research this
We transgenders are not ***** nor ******* We transgenders are not tools, nor autistic or ******** It is not funny to spit at us. Or stick notes on our back. It is not funny to misgender us, or harass and assault. It is like we are a fish out of water. Watching everyone swim. As we suffocate and die. See, we transgenders are just like you. And you see, We all speak it. The truth.

.madame,
Stitched into this sac of skin at birth. That fused to your bones Fabricating a narcotic seamless facade We pluck at the seams, with crude claws. Laboring to unravel the lace seams In vain Whirling, flickering, suffocating nausea aimed at Misuse of our pronouns of Our echoing repulsive abnormal figure. Funding a doctor to shed our skin. Mutilating skin and bone to perfection. For self-acceptance.

Trans
out of everyone it could've been anyone but i was chosen for this task that no one wants. as i walk to the door i wonder why as i turn the **** i wonder why as the dreaded creak means my entrance is now i wonder why. dragged in here i float as i hear people scream defending their side i just can't decide but maybe they aren't screaming i think that might be me because of the pain it brings when they pull me in their opposite directions.. until i fall apart but i was never really together. raw in pieces they keep giving me evidence to prove that they are right right about me i guess i'm the guest that doesn't want to be here but they sure feel like unwanted guests inside my head. "she's a girl" "he's a boy" "because of this" "because of that" this can't be true that can't be true i'm just an observer in this court room but then why am i in the center? i'm was picked at random, the chosen one and i really wish i wasn't.

jury duty
Help me by Ashton Ard Help me, is something I wish I could say, Just waiting until the day I can finally be freed from this prison I built around me. Everyday gets harder to breathe, I tear at my skin ripping off the weights holding me back, making me hold my breath. It's too late for me to be better, I've been bottled up for way too long. I wish I could be strong, like you all want me to be, choking back my tears, I wash away my fears, hoping to leave no trace of who I was. Who was that girl, who everyone thought was a lesbian? I don't know, because that was never me. I forced myself into a box, girls wear pink, boys wear blue, Help me, is something I wish I could say, just waiting until the day I can finally be freed from the prison I built around me. Boys play sports, girls play dolls, No! I scream, This world doesn't see the many colors of who you can really be. I rip at my chest, I rip at my hair, why can't I just be happy? it's the worlds fault for pushing us back. We're people too, We love just like you, Help me, I whisper underneath my breath. The prison walls around me fall down, I stand in the middle of a field, A single rainbow stands before me. Finally, I'm accepted, I'm loved, I'm happy. Thank you.

coming out
A shout out to the transgender people, to the strong women and men, may you see yourselves as self-made heroes. A shout out to the non-binaries, to the gender less, the in between, may you take pride in who you are. Happy Trans Visibility Day.
