Dysphoria


Gender dysphoria. 

Oh how much of a pain you are.

You remind me that I was born a woman.

You remind me that I have breasts.

You remind me that I have female parts. 

You remind me I'll never be a true man,

with an astonishing heart and strong soul.

You remind me I'll always be a woman,

with small hands and a bird-like voice. 

Today, you may control me,

but one day, 

I will defeat you.

Heya! I'm a 17 year old plus size trangender dude living in rural South Dakota. Crazy, right? I started getting into poetry just recently when I started the poetry unit in class. I love horses, Transformers, and LGBT rights! Feel free to talk to me! I don't bite!
