My Transition Poem

Printer-friendly version

I haven't posted anything for awhile and I decided to resurrect this oldie that I wrote when I started my transition, almost two years ago. I hope you enjoy it and I think it speaks to each of us attempting to travel the transition road, unsure of what will happen to us, but ever hopeful.

MY TRANSITION POEM.

Of all of the times in my long lonesome life,
full of anger and sadness and worry and strife,

the now, this moment, holds, it seems,
my hopes, my prayers, my choices, my dreams.

I stand on the threshold of change and renewal,
and I must be bold, and follow new rules.

The past is the past and I bid it adieu,
I welcome the changes, I'll embrace the new.

Filled with fears and with dread, but regardless of strife,
filled with hope and with wonder, I'll begin my new life.

With the help of my friends, both far and so near,
Their love and their caring will assure that those fears,

will vanish like fog, no more strife, no more tears,
and my life, will be filled with their hugs, and their love,

I'll embrace the new me, no longer a hawk, now a dove.

From Cathy: Yes, I know that the last few lines sorta ruin the meter, but I was writing what I felt and, even though those last three lines ruin the meter, they say what I felt, and still feel.

The meter seems fine...

and besides, it's the flow of the life that the poem describes that's the best part! May all you know and love embrace the new you as well!


Happy to know you. Belle

This is a poem that we can all

realte to, bringing with that relation the emotions we fought during our journeys. You did the transgender community proud with this poem because it speaks to each and every one of us, in a good way. Thank you for sharing.

Cathy, your poem comes from your Heart. There are no rules when it comes to the Heart other than Love.
