Does anyone else have or had a problem creating and maintaining a female self image in your mind? I can barely do it if at all, and it can be a little distressing. I can only see myself as the overly masculine body that I currently have.
I’m not on HRT nor presenting as a woman in public. Maybe if I was my self image would change?
I think you underestimate your “eye” for poetry.
How does estrogen feel like a crackling TV fuzz bubble wrap circling your breasts and hips more a kind of awareness than a sensation a spotlight an irrational happiness a full-body smile
That one in particular, that’s some good shit right there. Evocative, descriptive, emotionally honest. I’d be proud of that one if I had written it. It paints and feeling with words and that is what poetry does best.
I personally dig simple, short poetry anyway. It’s harder to pull off, but when it works, it hits harder. Yours work, at least that’s these do.
