Default Maybe/Wanting
Quote:
Maybe with a few snips
And some injections
Life will change
And I can become the person
I am inside

Maybe all it will take
Is some hormones, surgical knives,
And thread
And I'll be better off
Forever

I don't want to be vulnerable
I don't want to be "less then"
I don't want to fear things
That I could avoid otherwise
I don't want this flower
In a V shape between my legs
I don't want to need protection
I don't want to fear rape
I forgot why I was going to post this.

How can you become the person you are inside?

The person you are inside is the person you are. What you do outside is not who you become. You become what you understand inside from what happens to you, right?

Tumor, I don't think your poem is "bad" at all. It actually expresses a feeling I relate to a lot (in the final stanza). Also, it makes complete sense to me that the person you are outside may not match who you feel you are inside.

I think that acknowledging the fears is part of figuring out how to handle them. Thread and external changes won't, I feel, get rid of the fears, only change them...because I think men have a whole bunch of fears, too. Even men can feel vulnerable.

I also thought it was interesting that you acknowledge fears in this poem when you seem very strong to me. Part of your strength, I feel, is that you admit what troubles you! You also seem like someone who can protect herself very well...though I know that doesn't change the feelings.
