When you look in the mirror who’s that woman you see?
Is she the beauty that you’d planned her to be?
Did your transition go smoothly as intended to be?
Or are you lonely and desperate and melancholy?
Why thankyou for asking, it all went as I’d planned,
And I am complete now, as you would understand.
The decision wasn’t easy but one only I could make,
I had to be certain there was not one mistake.
As you are aware now I’d always felt I should be,
A woman from birth but that was not meant to be.
So for years I had dreamed of the way I could be,
If I planned it all properly I might then be free.
There were family to think of and also my friends,
I thought out the problems and looked to their ends.
It was an enormous decision that I had to make,
There was no turning back; there must be no mistake.
So I went to see the physician, psychiatrist, obstetrician and surgeon,
Yet no matter how hard I tried to hurry they’d not listen to my urging.
At least there was one thing that I had no concern about,
I was single again so there was no partner to lose out.
I was lucky my children all knew what I felt,
And I feel so blessed that my heart could melt.
You see I’d transitioned for years in my mind,
So the final step to be taken had been carefully planned.
So then I went quietly along on my operation day,
It was time to give what was left of my manhood away.
I’d tidied up my affairs, and made a new will,
I’d get on with the op now and swallow the pill.
And now all ’tis over, why don’t you come and see,
That I am most surely all I’d ever wanted to be.
Sure there’s medication to be taken for the rest of my life,
But that’s all designed to stop me getting into strife.
For now that I’ve been through, I’m a woman that’s sure,
And a woman’s highs and lows I have to endure.
For me it was worth the pleasure, it was worth the pain,
But one thing for certain, it’ll never happen again.
So where to from here now did I hear you ask?
I’ve started anew and I have a new task.
To help all the people who have the desire,
But need lots of help for it all to transpire.
For most that have the longing don’t think clearly it through,
And when it goes wrong there’s naught they can do.
So it needs to be planned properly and thought clearly out,
Or you’ll end up with problems, of that there’s no doubt.
So think clearly the issues, sort them carefully all out,
And if in the end then there’s not one tiny doubt.
Then and then only do as I have done,
Become free forever; take your place in the sun.
