Trans Poetry

These are some poems I wrote from 2017-2020. I first came to the realization that I was trans in late 2014, and these poems were written as a way for me to process my identity and struggle. Each piece’s title is a link to take you to where you can read it, and after the link is a brief explanation of my writing process.

who he, who she

Possibly the first poem I wrote about my transness, who he, who she was also one of the first poems I wrote that I feel best lends itself to being read aloud. If you can, please watch the video I’ve provided. This was written and performed in 2017, and that year feels like decades before 2020. Trans discussion and transness as a concept has come a long way in simply 3 years. At the time of writing, I remember I had the sentiment that my peers in the queer community knew having a trans identity was not a choice, but nearly everyone I knew over the age of 40 didn’t agree with that. As it was one of my first tries at poetry, as well as a piece meant to be read aloud, I tried to be blunt with my metaphor and simple in the feeling I wanted to convey. In later writing I would experiment a bit more with the text formatting of the writing itself to express the sentiment I wanted.

This post will be very long otherwise; If you’re interested, there is more poetry below the “Keep reading” cut, thank you.

fuck this, & fuck you

Written in 2017, I was processing my parents’ reaction to my coming out. Like I say in the video, this was something written in the moment. It was cathartic to write as well as to present, but these are feelings that I continue to process to this day.

Venting Content Warning: Dysphoria, Suicide

Straight to the point, Venting is essentially a stream of consciousness writing. My perfectionist tendencies were still largely at their strongest though, so the amount of editing that has happened after writing the piece probably disqualifies it from that genre. The writing tries to be detached and explanatory of the events of my life up to the point of writing, but I let the emotion that overtook me while remembering to flow out into the words as well.

Doa Content Warning: Violence

I wrote Doa--pronounced “dough uh”--with the melody of this song in my head as I wrote. I’ve included the music video for the song to show the melody I wrote to. Doa is simply the acronym DOA(Dead on Arrival) pronounced phonetically. The title just sort of came out of nowhere. I remember wanting a title that portrays a hollow and somber quality. The open airy quality in the mouth when one says DOA as a word lends itself to this.  The “uh” at the end of pronouncing “Doa” as a word also implied an unsure or inquiring tone; Perhaps the subject in front of the viewer looks dead now, but will that always be the case? I wrote Doa as a way to capture a snapshot of my depression. When writing this piece, I remember having a slight reverie in the sadness I was feeling in the moment. It was like my depression was an old friend that had come to visit me again. I once read about other people with depression experiencing something like this as well, and I was aware of the danger in it. This writing is just as much of a warning to myself as it is to anyone else with depression. Content Warning for blood and violence in the video.

skullflame

A written channeling of my depression into anger at the politics of 2016 and ‘17. skullflame was written in response to President Trump’s ban against transgender people serving in the military as well as to the passing of North Carolina’s House Bill 2, the Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act. HB2 was a hot topic because it was a bill that amended state law to compel schools and public facilities containing single-gender restrooms to only allow people of the corresponding sex listed on their birth certificate to use them.  It was partially repealed in 2019 by another bill, albeit in a way that further complicates being trans in North Carolina. If you’re interested in reading an article written when the “repeal” bill for HB2 was first being discussed, there’s an article here. 

I’ve unfortunately lost the original piece, but this a link to an instagram post I made of the illustration. Link

I drew this a month later after writing skullflame, and this was my attempt at conveying what the skull in my mind looked like, a literal symbol for how my head felt like before the metaphorical surge of fire in the poem. I wanted to draw the skeletal hand’s pointer finger reaching into an eye socket as described in the poem, but I had no confidence I could draw the bones of a hand effectively. I don’t have much practice drawing, so I wanted to keep my subject small and limit myself to just the skull. I included the palm tree to allude to an oasis in a desert, like the desert dry winds in the poem, as well as to imply a haven or refuge. The refuge in the oasis is fleeting, as shown by the waterfalls that obscure the eye sockets. Conversely, the shadow of the tree onto the water is to show that despite the rushing water, the pool is still and calm, seemingly unending. But for how long that would be the case, who could say? With the tools I had, I wanted to convey a still moment that was simultaneously kinetic and in motion, similar to lightning in a bottle.

SoC 11/15/18, 5:30 am CW: Dysphoria/Internal Transphobia

SoC is an acronym for stream of consciousness. I wrote this while on an almost 2 hour long commute to a minimum wage job at a packaging warehouse. In my commute, I would walk for about a half hour. Despite it being below freezing temperature outside on a dark winter morning, I remember feeling compelled to type this into my phone and do my best to ignore the sting of the cold on my fingers. Any names mentioned in this writing have been changed. I wrote this to vent out feelings of depression, dysphoria, and my past romantic relationships.

facsimile Content Warning: Self Harm  

I wrote facsimile intending for a short story rather than poetry. I was(and still am) captivated by the vivid imagery of human anatomy and body physiology in writing. The changes in perspective through the usage of pronouns are intentional. I feel a kinship with the concept of a shapeshifter.

pastresent feel

One of the shortest poems I’ve written. “Pastresent” is a portmanteau of past and present that is meant to describe those moments of my life where I found myself analyzing the past when I’m expected to be in the present and talking to someone. But it also acknowledges how much more clarity I have in my reflection versus the now.

spring-a-ting

spring-a-ting is one of my first experimental attempts with formatting in written poetry. Initially typed into a note document on my phone while in bed at midnight, I had a limited repertoire to work with. Written in late 2018, this piece is meant to evoke a nervous happiness I felt from a new relationship with another trans person, my gender euphoria, and to remind myself to practice mindfulness for the now and present rather than the past or future. 

foreverfight

Currently the only piece utilizing special characters and color in its typing. foreverfight was first typed into a phone, then moved to a desktop to insert the symbols and colors. Using only the text editor, I wanted the characters to resemble pixels; the scrambled electric and gray snow of a garbled signal on a screen. foreverfight is meant to capture my struggle with depression as well as my processing of my black and white view of interpersonal relationships as romantic or platonic.

Inspiration

I wasn’t diagnosed with ADHD until my mid 20s, and I still grapple with self-criticism of the executive dysfunction of my ADHD that I incorrectly call “laziness” sometimes. The most recent piece, Inspiration was written in reassurance to myself. But I also saw that it could be motivating for others to read, and so I hope that it is for you as well.

Thank you for reading!
