Years Of Tears - Part 4

Years Of Tears - Part 4

A Poem by therisa
"

The conclusion.

"

July 3, 2007

The official date

Of getting the keys.


Thus ending

My month long experiment

In anxiety.


Before you ask

Why did I not

Go to my mom's place

Over the shelter?


I have

Two simple answers

Isolation of her house

In the countryside.


Where

I would be

Totally dependant

Upon her driving me

To my appointments.


And her reaction

To seeing me

As my true self

That Canada Day.


Bitter hurtful words

Which drew blood

From my soul

Best left

Unspoken.


But

As they say

"That's ancient history"

And I have my future

Awaiting me.


No more closets

To hide in

Living my life

As it should be

A woman.


Who isn't ashamed

Of what other's think

Whether or not

I am female

Enough.


Because

I am.
