Ways - A Prose Poem

[Guest Elizabeth K]

Ways

Young I decided to just be that

No need to be old I bravely thought

Best young with knowing than old

With disdain and bitter ways

How did I get so advanced in days

Though young in sprit I know I stayed

Here I am in body part worn down

Survived by fortune so many ways

My ways were ways of many tricks

Of boy atop and girl inside

That girl kept deep inside my self

Young I stayed but mad and crazed

Reborn again in November years

Transitioning is true a way of ways

Young heart in body so renewed

Must shun against those bitter days

Years are gone and I realize

I am what I know to be reality

Girl to a woman I now appear

Ways are ways of finding ways

Dedicated to that little girl I covered up - I am so sorry, so very sorry

Did you know that you get more and more beautiful each day?

Your current avatar is lovely

Dear Lizzy,

You don't have to apologize to that little girl, she was aware of the times and that you did what you had to do to give her any chance to survive.

She is thanking you every day of your transition

Dealing with all of the problems of your condition

As you become the woman that girl was meant to be

A look in the mirror makes it easy as it is her you see

The past is like a shadow or smoke in a breeze

Yet we can never seem to dismiss it with ease

So be still and listen to that little girl speak, I do

Do you know what she says to you, "I love you."

Love, inner peace and happiness,

Sally

I am so sorry Lizzy that you didn't allow yourself to be yourself earlier in life. Maybe it's time to let it go and be happy that you are now yourself. This poem brings me to tears.

Seeing your suffering, I don't ever want to see another person who has gender dysphoria needlessly suffer in quiet desperation like that.

Love Susan
