I am woman
my feminine display
is carefully hidden
it’s tucked away
fearing innocence lost
hidden forever
what is the cost?
losing myself?
I’m already lost
moving onward
so afraid
never knowing exactly
where my innocence
is laid
moving onward
moving fast
knowing my innocence
my false masculinity
will
never
last

take it slow
one small triumph
at a time
baby steps
so no one will
see you fall
as you famously do
every time
you walk
.
close your eyes
just try to breathe
take it one step
at a time
baby steps
so no one will
see you trip
over your own
damn feet
.
like you
always do
.
like you
always do
.
baby steps
it will take
forever
but you’ll get
there
you’ll find
yourself at
the ledge
.
baby steps
to the edge
baby steps
you look down
baby steps
.
close your eyes
just try to breathe
as you jump
as you leap
a leap
of faith
why walk
when you were
meant to soar
.

lost in the crowd
she moves on in silence
wondering who will see her
wondering who has the ability
to see the girl invisible to all
longing to be there
longing to be loved
she knows that she was never meant to be
maybe she was supposed to die
maybe no one will ever see her
maybe no one even cares
she opens her mouth and screams
and screams and screams
screaming she stands alone
she chased them all away
except for one boy
who is disappearing
a disappearing boy
he smiles at her as she stops her screaming
she smiles back her crooked smile
and finally realizes
she was never alone
she was
NEVER
ALONE
and there they still stand
hand in hand
the disappearing boy and the invisible girl
.

to ‘the disappearing boy’ who i met in the ‘Kick Out the Gloom’ chat room and had the most wonderful and poetic email friendship with. Sadly, we lost contact a few years back, but i miss him horribly. I miss his words.
