I think of what could be,
where soft features and curious eyes reflect dreams,
full cheeks, hazel depths, thick hair
that I could weave into stories at night.Stars glow softly on ceilings,
fireflies chasing away the dark,
tales of ancestors linger,
wondering about lives lived before.Moments spent in parks,
feeding swans, sharing amusement,
each height marked on the wall,
a journey of growth, possibility unfolding.She would be fierce,
crafted from the lessons of resilience,
a spirit unyielding,
determined to forge her own path.I am not ashamed.
I am not ashamed.
I am not ashamed.
These words pulse within, aching for release.A young girl caught between psyche,
a world that feels far away,
navigating choices
that echo through instants.One in three.
One in three.
One in three.
A story untold, a journey interrupted.Roots that burrow deep,
branches casting shadows,
a responsibility too heavy to bear,
the heart caught in silence.It's a hollowness that feels full,
a numbness that weighs heavy,
allowing space for every feeling,
refusing to be diminished.I am woman now,
crafted from strength,
not bound by definitions,
refusing to be silenced.Don't you dare whisper judgment,
for each year, lives lost, choices stripped away,
the back alleys and hidden struggles,
a history woven with pain and defiance.This is not just his story,
but herstory, ourstory,
bold and unyielding,
etched in ink, never erased.You will hear it on the airwaves,
see it in the margins of life,
in coffee shops and conversations,
a testament to courage and choice.I am not ashamed.
I am not ashamed.
I am not ashamed.
This body, this spirit, this choice—mine alone.When the time comes,
it will be on my terms,
a journey swathed, not dictated,
as I carve my own path forward.
