My True Self Grows

Even knowing all of that...

I still feel ready.

Estrogen will soften up my skin Slow the body hair,

let the change begin Shifting every curve to my hips and thighs

Emotional shifts behind my eyes Decreasing the strength I used to hold

A brand new story waiting to unfold

Testosterone blockers to clear the path

Even with the risks of the aftermath Progesterone added to the line

To change this body,

to reclaim what's mine

I know the risks of the blood and bone

I won't try to face this path alone (no,

not alone) Regular blood work,

the pressure, the change My whole horizon redesigned and rearranged

Under the care of a hand that knows This is the way

my true self grows

I still feel ready.

(I am ready)
