Unbreakable

Woman

Original spoken word poetry about trusting your inner strength through gender transition

I was met with many challenges when starting out in gender transition. I felt, almost every day, every hour, my strength was being tested. At a time when I was still coming to terms with being known as a transgender woman. But, through the love and support of others I learned to have faith in myself through the kindness of others.

UNBREAKABLE

I will not, fall-down, at your feet.

Why, do you think, of me, so meek?

I am not shook, by bile, and hate.

My faith is strong, my course is straight.

The clues, appeared, right from the start.

Your anger, doesn’t come, from your heart.

Uncertainty, hints, through your tone.

You're standing tall, but sit alone.

And I see you, for what you are.

Oh, and I know you see you too.

I see through your vermillion smile,

And beyond, to your craven hue.

For, it is not me, you detest.

But, is something inside, of you.

So, you have put, yourself on test.

And, you have failed, I see that, too.

I don’t ask, for your permission,

I don’t require, your gated view.

But, if you take a pause, for breath,

I’ll listen, to why, you feel blue.

And I hope, from this, you will learn.

Trust, your heart, as you surely yearn.

For something, you can't, get from me.

I'm unbreakable, can’t you see?
