"Did you know that, I am trans."
Not by chance, nor some passing glance,
I trans norms like dancers trans stance,
Trans silence to voice, fear to advance.
I trans the lines in every expanse,
Through transit halls and customs’ scan,
I trans fixed roles that never enhance,
And trans the gaze that dares to demand.
Each day’s a trans, a rebel’s romance,
A transaction with truth, not just happenstance.
I trans borders not built to withstand
The weight of a soul who takes her stand.
I trans this world in fierce expanse,
Refuse to shrink, refuse to dance
To any beat but my own plans.
Just so you understand, I am trans, btw.
