A twisted road,
A rebellious journey,
A challenging code,
Towards life's tourney.

My life is about to take a tumultuous turn now that I came out,
My identity would change , so will my name,
My parents would be far from being proud,
Their lives as well as mine would never be the same.

I was born a boy, but my thoughts were feminine,
I longed to wear dresses , put on make-up
As hard as it was for me to determine,
I knew my world was about to shake-up.

I felt lonely and uncomfortable in my own skin,
My physical appearance got checked in one gender box but my heart did in another,
I knew I had little time to come clean ,
For it was getting difficult to walk through life any further.

Today as I look myself in the mirror,
I see the woman I was supposed to be inside and out,
I hold my head high as I clear my head of any doubts and terror,
I walk out of the surgery room, as I resist the urge to shout ,
"I am a woman".
