The Real Me (Trans vent poetry)

I’m trapped in a cage

The cage is pink

Bright pink

Like a birthday cake of mine so many years ago

When I was young and happy

Yet so confused

Im wearing a dress

That has ruffles and frills

My hair is growing

Growing

Growing

Growing

Suddenly

Someone opens the cage

He looks like me, but he is a boy

I look at him longingly in envy

He wears his hair short

While mine is long

He has a sharp jawline

While mine is round

His chest is smooth and flat

While mine is covered with a shirt

He has slim dark eyes

While mine are bright and puffy with tears

But we still look the same

He holds out his hand to me and I reach for it

When he pulls me out, two weights are lifted off my chest

As I change into the costume of a prince

Shiny and white

And my hair falls away

Then I realize

The boy is me
