When She Feels Right To Bloom
February 24, 2017
Since she could remember
inside she didn't think
from outside things didn't seem
as if something was right
among who she felt different from
as if the other side is where
in which she belonged.
By the age of 6, she knew
but it wasn't until 14 when she had a clue
before strong feelings
from an unsual phantom
on her chest,
to a disgusting perplexity below
inside she thought of all
of these feelings and made sense
from them, with a focus
on the side she felt good on
despite that not being the side
of which she was given, and
out she bloomed.

Thanks, this was a bit of a passion project for me after I started it.
Gender dysphoria and my identity are things I've had issues with for a long time, but I never could quite get a hold of it. This poem sheds light on that stuggle. It's also a preposition poem.
