Thorny Poetry - 31. Visible

Today is Transgender Day of Visibility.

here i stand

naked

everything laid bare

each word on my tongue

my truth

 

here i stand

weeping

asking to be seen

each moment questioning

myself

 

here i stand

afraid

terrified of myself

wondering if everything is

a lie

 

here i stand

ashamed

my body on display

chest wide open so you can see

my heart

 

here i stand

visible

my voice like thunder

shouting out that i am valid

i am here

I think this poem is perfect for this day, and for all days. It’s beautiful and encouraging and silences doubt.
