My body longs for what I can’t understand.
To feel different, not like others,
but wishing for what seems impossible.
A conversion from outside inwards.
I can’t change it; I don't want to.
My Identity seems to be how I am, judged.
Little pills, the surgeon's knife, and my dream come true,
My dream came through, from the outside in.
