#transition has made me tender but it has also destroyed the cage through spite and fury and that's okay
Text
Testosterone has made me softer
My arms, my stomach, my laughter, my heart
The stone around them chiseled away
To reveal flesh, raw and timid
But then - suddenly!
Chimes of bells, of golden flame
The tiger has destroyed his cage
The stone beneath his feet
The taste of blood's iron on his tongue
Tiger, tiger burning bright
You will keep up the fight
#trans#transgender#lgbt#lgbtq#ftm#nonbinary#i have been very rusty on poetry and for some reason this feels vulnerable#i don't feel it's the best poem or even a good poem#but that first tiger poem i referenced really spoke to me and it's how i feel about transitioning#transition has made me tender but it has also destroyed the cage through spite and fury and that's okay#the tenderness matters but it will never overstate the negatives and that's okay#this probably won't be something that many people will like here but... 'tis my blog and now i'm making it y'all's problem /lh#i haven't posted my own poetry since... 2018... now that feels big to me.
