1 week post-op

by Poet on the Piano   Feb 27, 2023


I don't think it can ever be
properly expressed...
this wholeness I feel inside,
the way my body has aligned
and I can breathe
without feeling hesitation
that every move I make,
every pose, every exhale
from my chest,
is somehow wrong.

When I look in the mirror,
I feel instant peace.
This is how I imagined
my body from the beginning.

It only took a few years,
and an unraveling state
of discomfort, to unlock
this source of euphoria.

I am wholly me.

    My best friend was trans and I saw the struggle in him to feel whole. I am so happy for you and utterly enamored by your sheer courage to live unapologetically as you. Beautiful words.

    Nominated. As you know I am also under the trans umbrella and I love this so much for you. It is always a huge relief to be able to finally be yourself and you have expressed that well here, I am so happy and proud of you and the journey you have been on.
