The Subtlety of Softness

The Turn of the Page

With a flick of the wrist you open a world of mystery.
Page by page you unravel a place filled with people who have no history or future, simply the now, the story before you.
Discovery of the past and realizing what is to be compels you to turn the page.
Your eyes take in each word creating scenarios that you freely submerge yourself within.
Love is lost, love is found between these leaves.
You find contentment within this world, a journey filled with possibilities,
You strive to find meaning in a moment of literary themes.
Themes that influence your thoughts, your dreams and your heart
As the pages turn from beginning to end you are lost in the words of change.
For once you read and internalize the mystery it changes you forever with a simple turn of the page.

The Man I Want to Be

This journey I am on from female to male is a difficult one.
For me the way is filled with both dangerous pitfalls as well as joyous events.
While I am unable to see what my body will become, I can affirm what type of man I am becoming.
To weave together the woman I’ve lived and the man that I am is to blend the best of both in this gender queer body.
I am not my father’s daughter
I am not my mother’s daughter
But neither am I their son.
I am my own unique individual with the sensibility of what it means to be a woman as a man in this world of ours.
Left behind is their daughter with long hair, frilly clothes and make-up.
What is ahead is the man I want to be, something that was hidden behind the façade of femininity.
My masculinity has finally revealed itself after years of pretending to be something I am not and will never be.
I know deep down that I was born to take on the self as male and hopefully the lessons I have learned as a female will help create the man I want to be.
