Diary of a Trans Girl: December 2022

Transformation X

Her feminine image
doesn't exist at her core
only as a shell
waiting to be broken,
melted away by glares,
and lost to the wind.

She's stuck at home
where her shell is safe
and she won't have to think
about the glares
invited by her lack of confidence.

She can't exist in the world outside,
not like this
not alone.
