So I wrote a poem that I think a lot of FtMs, or even just anyone here who's trans*, might identify with. I hope you like it. Hiding I hide behind a name That doesn’t suit my soul, I hide behind small words That don’t fit who I am, I hide behind clothes Not meant for me to wear, I hide behind a stickman In a room I shouldn’t be in. I hide behind a face Seen as something it’s not, I hide behind a body That is something other than itself, I hide behind a word That’s only four words long, But I wish to replace it With a smaller one. I want to say my true name, And use the real words, Wear the comfy clothes, And follow the right stickman. I want to change my face And fix my body to be itself, And I want to swap out girl For boy.
Very nice. one note though, I think you might have a mistake here (or I just didn't get what you meant):"I hide behind a word / That’s only four words long, /But I wish to replace it / With a smaller one. //"
