Redefined (a poem)

I am not what your words declare me to be.

In light of recent events, I thought I’d come clean and share… My Trans Agenda.

I walked out of the din, wandered into the yard. I never thought performing would be so damned hard.

words have always, ALWAYS been here for me. yet, now, in this moment, they bring no comfort…

This is one of those
awkward
moments,
we all have them
and yet in the midst of it
I feel so foolish,
exposed,
helpless,
and alone.

Everything’s already been said. There’s nothing left to say.

An hour lasts forever.
A lifetime’s just a blink.
The time it takes to get there
is never what you think.

The tides draw me
relentlessly,
toward the distant shore.

As the moon moves
effortlessly,
high above the waters.

Truth runs red.
Flowing
everywhere.

It cannot be stopped,
held back,
contained.

Beneath the black umbrella tops
their hearts beat in time
with each and every falling drop
of rain against the pine.
