In memory of the little girl I was
January 26, 2022
She will always be a part of me
Yet she’s dead to me
Someone that I used to know
But had to let go of
I kept losing because of her
She ran herself in the ground
Making me hit rock bottom
She didn’t know when to let go
I’ve learned better
She will stay with me
In my heart and my head
But I had to let go
To stop losing

For a lot of transgender people learning to let go of who you were to yourself and the outside world takes a lot of work especially when some still see you as that person. I've grown out of the little girl who was so intent on saving everyone but herself. I'm trying to be a person who puts on my oxygen mask before helping others, so to speak.
