Hearing Her Speak

Hearing Her Speak

A Chapter by therisa
"

Finally finding my feminine voice.

"
For almost
My entire life
I was filled with hatred
And self-anger
Whenever I hear
The sound of my voice.

Until two weeks ago
When everything
Fell into place.

A woman’s voice
Emerged
As I talked
Over the phone.

Feeling
Totally natural
Not some forced
Falsetto
By a man.

A slow spreading pride
Is consuming
My body.

As I playback
The conversation
With my nurse
And the sound of confusion
In her voice.

Hearing
The true me
For the first time
Is indescribable.

For no words exist
In any language.

Thank you, Tia.
It is perfect when one starts to take the steps to becoming what one truly feels one should be. Finally embracing fully what the spirit had known all along, hope everything keeps going this well. As always write on.
