it'll be seventeen years tomorrow.
seventeen years since i've told you i loved you to your face.
since i told you i missed you.
since i sat on your lap while you played the play station.
i was your little girl, a princess with too many dresses and plastic heels that clicked about the house.
a princess with a magic wand that could do anything i wanted.
i would of made you stay.
but it's been seventeen years and i'm not your little girl anymore.
instead i'm a man, a genderfluid man in love with a transgender man.
a man who collects crystals in hopes of contacting the other side.
a man who constantly is shoved back into the closet because of fear.
i'm not your little girl anymore, but do you still love me the same?

thank you for your comment! honestly living as my true self in my home is a constant uphill battle, especially with siblings who don't really understand as much as they say they do. i can only wonder if loved ones who have passed on would accept me as i am, and it's a question i'm not sure i want the answer to.
thank you again for your insight, it's appreciated!

Love and Truth know no shame. To stand up for yourself and share this with the outside world takes incredible strength. Thank you so much.
