Changes

There's a lot about me
You may never know.

Memories I share with specific people.
Undescribable events.

Something I've come to terms with though
Is my change.

My physical change, for instance.
The change from hair down my back,
To barely even there.

The change of clothing.
From dresses, bras, and high heels,
To baggy pants, binders, and Converse.

The change from girl to boy.
From "her" to "him".
Then the change back to "her" again.

Then,
There's the mental change.
That one's interesting.

Going from never having to worry
To the constant fear
Of being found out.

Going from never hiding anything
To hiding almost everything
From almost everyone.

The depression of not having what you want.
The confusion of not knowing what that is exactly.
The paranoia of getting hurled against a wall and beat to death.

But with all these changes,
Comes one thing,
Greater than all.

Happiness.
In knowing you can accept yourself
No matter what.

The changes
Are worth
The happiness.

Always.
