-(n.) the joyful, intense anticipation that comes from imagining future pleasures
//
When I think of my future, I see
a man I can't recognize just yet.
I think of happiness of a short life
that is decades long with knowledge.
I see the man I was supposed to be born
as. I am not supposed to die as
a woman, I am not to let myself leave
this world with a womanly imprint.
Everyone comes at some point to
suffering, I know how that truly feels.
