What I Have LostHow can I lose what I never had? I
was rejected before I was born.
My
mother was still a child emotionally.
My
father saw me as an extension of himself.
My
little body was put through torture.
Children
are to be seen and not heard.
At
two, I announced I would never get married.
I
grew up knowing that I was a boy, trapped in a girl's body.
My
right brain thinking and
Nothing
I attempted met approval.
My
feelings were completely denied.
None
of my "friends" were ever good enough,
My
parents did not protect me from harm.
My
father said he loved me, as he hurt me.
My
father was emotionally abusive.
My
father denies any wrongdoing.
I
am plagued with flashbacks. I
am separated from my husband. I
am consumed with my past.

peering out from I
the trespasser, Footprints
soon gone, Curiosity
overcomes fear, Surrounded
by cool air, A
small clearing before me, A
place of acceptance Relaxation
stolen for a moment, Safety
from the judging eyes Peaceful coexistence © 1997 JoMarie etal
