The Deal (a poem)
I see myself in the story of a beautifully unique woman who never quite fits the mold of societal expectations, and the beast who holds her captive within the near impeneterable walls of an enchanted castle.
I see myself in the story of a beautifully unique woman who never quite fits the mold of societal expectations, and the beast who holds her captive within the near impeneterable walls of an enchanted castle.
For all my life I tried my best to meet your expectations, to fit into your world, to be loved.
So many saw it coming but ignored the warning signs. (a follow-up to my 2016 poem The Coming Storm)
In light of recent events, I thought I’d come clean and share… My Trans Agenda.
I stand tall, proud,
find strength in who I am,
inspired by my ancestors.
Surrounded by people, blind to the tension. This patchwork relationship, this marriage of convenience, is falling apart.
