a brief take on gender dysphoria
Everyday I look in the mirror…
Everyday I stare at my reflection…
Everyday the reflection ask the same questions:
Is this me?
Everyday I look in the mirror
Everyday I stare into the mirror and ask my reflection…
The reflection repeats the question:
Are you this some-body?
I want to be…
I want to be me…
I want to be this some-body.
I want to be this some-body to become my-body.
There is this some-body in my-body.
Still.
I cannot see them.
There is this some-body in my body.
Still.
I can feel them clearly.
So:
One day I will be this some-body that is in my-body.
And my-body will be the home of this some-body, a soul I have known for so long.
