━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

imagine if i could
present to the world
the way that i feel

to wear suits and pants,
tank tops and button ups
and not have to feel like giving up

imagine if i could
say my name as it is in my mind
and not as it reads on my birth certificate

if i could introduce myself
as truly me and not someone else

imagine if i could
feel better—
in this body, in this mind,
in this planet we are living

and not want to die.

inspired by a conversation i had yesterday with two people about transitioning / gender dysphoria & me basically coming out to them.
