Comming Out as Transsexual to my Dad.
Dad, we need to talk,
Talk about my future and my wish
Wish to become who I’ve been in my thoughts
Thoughts about my life and my body
Body that doesn’t belong to my mind
Mind my wishes please, Dad
Dad, I love you
You know that, I’m your child
Child, not daughter, never daughter
Daughter isn’t who I’m meant to be
Be okay with this please
Please, I need your support
Support for the future me
Me who is a master of my fate
Fate is what we make
Make my life easier by accepting
Accept me as your son
Son who has been trying to escape this dreaded body
Body that I’ve been ashamed of having since I was young
Young is when this started
Started to feel out of place
Place in this mind of mine
Mine, my future to decide
Decide, it’s your decision to accept me
Me myself and I as your son.
