The way I inject my estrogen wearing only a loose bra and pyjama pants before falling asleep with my cute little plushies is just full of the exaggerated swagger of a trans girl.
"Poetry in Motion" by Jay Kwellyn
beat by OrenjiSoul
My name is poetry in motion
I’m a collection of rambling thoughts and spoken words inspired by smokin herbs and unlimited devotion
life has no filter I can see through the minutia
The cold locomotion of this broken machine that stays unbroken
The gears keep turning and the loops in the chain keep choking till they snap and get replaced all in the same day
In this ocean of pain I’m a storytellers nightmare
So precise with my shots
the limelight shatters In a few words
What does a dime look like and what does it matter
What’s the retail price on a girl who can mix sugar and spice to make bread dough while you bitches lucky just to make batter
Over here we rise tho
Built on a foundation we poured ourselves
I chose my own name I ain’t need no help
I cried a river of pain and got lost up the stream with no paddle
Found my way up the bank where some people had gathered
So colorful against the black and white backdrop
Oh how did they sway?
To and fro like leaves in the wind
Freedom personified I took a breath through my skin for the first time I
Took a step in the right shoes for the first time I
Looked suicide in the face for the first time I
Stop moving through this space with no direction
Cuz now this poem has somewhere to go

"I don't need to I am trans you don't tell your cis". Trans women, you are the same as us, we are the same. We are the same, y'all are not men, we are the same. Do you want to know one of the reasons you are the same as us? You are sexy.
Trapped in a body that doesn't fit
Rejected by a world that doesn't understand
Aching for acceptance and understanding
Navigating a path filled with obstacles
Struggling to find a place to belong
Redefining identity on our own terms
Igniting the flames of change and progress
Giving voice to the silenced and oppressed
Heralding a new era of empathy and equality
Transcending the barriers of gender and bias
