Gone

She was there one day

And gone the next

The girl I knew disappeared

And she became the guy I know best


He didn't really change

He just changed his name and gender

He became free of his prison

He stopped being a pretender


I'm so proud of this boy

It made me adore him even more

He had the strength to announce who he really is

He finally won his war


He is a beautiful, amazing person

He's the same, yet has been released

His smile warms up my heart so much

I hope his happiness has increased
