I smile

My second poem ever

I smile but I cry inside
I long back to the young me who has died.
A me who’s gender had been decided
But now my existence seems double sided.
More and more I want to change myself
But then further into sadness I do delve.
A mix of hormones is the brew
That would start my whole life anew.
They would call me lady or ma’am
For that is who I really am.
There would be people that won’t believe
But then those people I could just leave.
There are feelings I caress
And those that I suppress,
But seldom is my life in such doubt
That all my feelings I write out.

Author's Note

Keep in mind it’s my second poem ever and English is a second language
