The Poet Sky

Poetry for people who could use a little kindness

Salutations, friend!

It's finally here! My surgery is bright and early today. I'll be sure to update everyone on how it went as soon as I can.

I love you all!

It's hard to accept that the body I want is still a long way off That my transformation is far from complete

Every day, I struggle feeling disgusted as though my body is covered in a foul smelling slime that I can never wash away

But I carry on finding joy in every new day always looking to a future when I don't fees this way anymore when I finally feel like me

One day I will have a body in which I'm comfortable

One day I will smile at my reflection

One day I won't shudder when I think of myself

One day

One day

The world is out of control What do we do? Trapped inside this raging tornado We hold on tightly to each other

We're all here together trying to ride out the storm I don't know where we'll end up but at least we won't be alone

The deafening winds try to rip us apart It's exhausting to keep fighting it But together, we share in each other's strength Together, we are mightier than the storm

Day after day, please keep remembering We can get through this together Just hold on tight I'm here for you

This world pushes work onto us telling us to forget our dreams our passions and toil away to make money

Our loves get lost in the shuffle maybe it's art or movies songs poetry travel surfing dance

Whatever you love go out and do it don't let this world take that away from you

Our love drives us without it this world would be terrible dark, lifeless

Empty

So remember love is life

Go out

Go love

Go live

There will always be people that tell you that your dreams are wrong that you're not allowed to want something no matter how much joy it brings you

They don't care about your feelings Only in holding shut the doors to their minds Building cliffs of ignorance all around them So they will never understand

Ignore them

Keep fighting for your dreams Do it in spite of them Scale the cliffs of ignorance Exist to show them they don't decide what's right for you

And when you're standing atop the mountain beaming with joy and pride They'll be at the bottom Grumbling and groaning in their misery

Stand tall Stand proud And never let anyone else decide what dreams you're allowed to have

I wrote I Am Me in 2022, right around a year before I came out as trans. Reading it now, it resonates so much with everything happening.

The original inspiration was the idea that people tried cramming me into a box labeled “Man” and I hated it. That wasn't me. I didn't want to be treated that way. Now that I'm out as trans, living life as a woman, I'm so much happier. I'm happy to be crammed into a box labeled “Woman,” even though that's still a close-minded way of thinking.

I'm gonna keep flying free, no matter what. Because I am me.

Thank you for reading. Remember, we are stronger together. And we'll get through this. Together.

There are people that want to take my right to live to erase people like me to force me to live in misery

I know they aren't all evil But they don't want to understand me And they do want to control me So how can I trust them?

Especially when They bully me into compliance Threaten me into hiding Force me to follow their rules

But one thing they will never do is make me give up

I refuse

No matter what else they take from me they will never take my hope my will to fight

I refuse

When they try to smother me I will scream out louder

When they try to keep me down I will rise up stronger

When they try to break my spirit I will refuse to give up

I'm not a monster like they make me out to be I'm just trying to be true to myself, to be the real me

I don't understand, I've got a medical condition It's called “gender dysphoria”, but they won't listen to my cries, to my tears, no they just don't care all they wanna do is lie and cheat and scare They don't understand and they don't want to The way people are, why they do the things they do They call me selfish and a liar, say I'm coming for your children Then they try to ban proven science and call me a villain Yeah, maybe I'm a little selfish once in a while but it's okay to do things for me, things that make me smile I'm not a monster like they make me out to be I'm just trying to be true to myself, to be the real me

They call it “chemical and physical mutilation”, it makes me so mad! Would they say the same thing to someone with cancer in their nads? They insult the experts, call their work “junk science” yet those people have proven time and again they've earned our reliance Do they really think I came to this idea on a whim one day? Do they have any inkling how hard it is to be this way? I take pills every day, injections every week And I've got millions of people shouting that I'm a freak I didn't ask to be this way, this isn't a choice I just want to love my body, my face, my voice Gender-affirming care isn't wrong, it saves lives Did you know the percent of people happier for it is greater than 89? I have a voice to speak, a stage on which I stand so I want you to know, I want you to understand there's nothing wrong with this, it's okay to be this way no matter what those people out there say I'm not a monster like they make me out to be I'm just trying to be true to myself, I just want to love me

I just want to be true to myself I just want to love me

A rainbow mouse smiling and waving a transgender pride flag.

Yes, it's true, your favorite rainbow mouse (who will be returning in April) supports trans rights.

If you too support trans rights, feel free to copy that pic around and share it.

If you don't support trans rights, I recommend either changing that or getting off my site immediately.
