Who Would Have Thought

Hard to believe
A year ago
If you had told me
I would be passing
As a woman.

I would have laughed
And questioned your sanity
Like you were totally nut
But this is the reality
Of my life.

Now
I am taking steps
That only months ago
Would have filled me
With dread
Just thinking about it.

Like reaching out
To my mom
With whom I have
A rocky past
Often confrontational.

Yet
I need to settle my past
Before I can safely move on
Dealing with current issues
Of uniting my body and soul
As one.

Will admit
The path I walk
Is often
A long and painful journey
But one I must do
For the sake
Of my sanity.

Each day
Is a small victory
For myself
And my holistic healing.

No matter what
My inner critic says
Inside of my head.

I think your inner critic needs a good kick as it sounds like you're doing really well to me! You're displaying far more strength and determination than most people would.
