chosen not of blood but love



A girl born inside a boy
Crying inside, anger and pain.
Left living two lives for 10 years,
Slowly dying, dying inside.

“Give them a chance once more!”
They never change,
Morning for love lost, family lost.

Missing on and off,
On and off.
The girl, now a young woman, returns home.
Nothing changed, nothing changed.

Sadness Shakes her, invited to dinner.
Accepts, wanting to reconnect.
But soon learns that wont happen,
Her family is not of blood but of something much stronger.

Stronger is her chosen Family who she loves,
She needs not pretend to be someone else.
Rejoicing the lost, from a “family”
A “family” who she wanted to believe loved her for her, gone.
