Today I came out
Today people were mad at me because I didn’t come out to them personally
Today I bought a dress
Today I got yelled at in the men’s restroom
Today I got my hormones
Today I was called miss and then sir as soon as I opened my mouth
Today I got my operation
Today I was in a lot of pain
Today I made a friend
Today someone threatened to kill me
Today I wore heels
Today I got my heart broken
Today I performed at Gender B(l)ender
Today I was too tired to concentrate
Today I self-published a poetry anthology
Today my uncle said something shitty
Today I got a girlfriend
Today I got called a dyke
Today I accepted that I was the way I am
Today I was triggered
Today I had lots of cuddles
Today I lost a friend
Today I fell in love with my best friend
Today I cried a little too much
Today I got a hug
Today I had a bad dream
Today I didn’t kill myself
Today I wasn’t brutally murdered
I survived today
I’m sure I can survive tomorrow
