I Hate My Toes: A Trans Girl’s Lament
I hate my toes,
I hate my nose
And I really hate it when my belly shows
I hate my hair
I had to share
That I really dont think it’s fair
Because If I was perfect,
in every way
I’d be happy
Or so I say
I hate my ears
They’re out to here
or at least that’s what I fear
I hate my lips
I hate my hips
and I really hate it when my clothing slips
But if I was perfect
in every way
I’d be happy
Or so I say
I find faults in every part
and it really breaks my heart
That I need to be perfect
in every way
to be happy
Or so I say
But my love say’s that I’m perfect
just as I am today
And that makes me happy
as I work and play
She loves my toes
She loves my nose
And She loves it when my belly shows
She love my hair
She stops and stares
And she says we make the perfect pair
Yes my love says I’m perfect
in every way
She makes me happy
Every single day
She loves my ears
they make her cheer
And she’s taking away all my fears
She loves my lips
She loves my hips
And she really loves it when my clothing slips
My love says I’m perfect
in every way
She makes me happy
Every single day
I no longer have a broken heart
no longer find faults in every part
Because my love says I’m perfect
in every way
She makes me happy
Every single day
End

That could actually go in a body positive kids book:)
Lord knows there's enough negative out there honey.
Good Job!

body positive ?
Trans people are probably especially vulnerable to feeling negative about their body, but yeah, every kid, boy or girl, deserves to feel good about themselves.
Dottie,
Wow, Your poem is really good and touching and heartfelt and everything.
Good, good job AND I'm so happy for you!

Thanks, Renee
Yeah, I'm pretty happy right now, can you guess why?

Great poem
So true... and loved the "she really loves it when my clothing slips" line.
thanks so much
just a bit of a giggle with a wink and a nudge on the side ...
cute poem
made me smile
glad I could make you smile, Joniellen
thanks for sharing your smile with us.
Sigh
Dorothy, your poem is accurate for so many of us, trans-people, regardless, how we identify ourselves. Have been told by other trans-women, am so lucky to have a small nose and slender hands.I hope this poem get published, as more people need to read your positive message here. Thank you, for sending this link to me.
glad you liked this one
huggles!
So relatable...
This was so how I felt last week... until my wife reminded me that what I see in the mirror isn't reality... it's a reflection only... an opposite of reality. That instead I should see myself through her eyes...
...and in her eyes I see how beautiful I am! Wife... mother... daughter... sister... me! ::sigh::
Just be happy you don't have my toes! (seriously... the 2nd and 3rd toes on my feet are webbed... which looks goofy as heck in open-toe shoes!)
