Poem: Blue, Pink, & White

This was the very first poem I wrote while in hospital, and it remains dear to my heart. The Transgender flag is a powerful symbol for our community, and these colours run through my veins.

BLUE, PINK & WHITE

A butterfly. A chrysalis.

The changing of your form

Transforming mind and spirit

Emerging from your storm

An altered state of being

A switch, a shift, a change

Embracing life on your terms

With a body rearrange

The evolution of a woman

Transitioning before your eyes

And your even getting rid

Of your genitalia surprise

Your sprouting brand new parts now

As puberty comes on again

Your curves will get you notice

While you attract delicious men

Whether your pre or post-op

Doesn't matter anymore

You've become a princess

Or perhaps pussy galore

Reaching for your life's dream

Will make everything alright

We proudly fly the colors

Of the blue, pink, and white
