Transistion

Transistion

It wasn’t an imagination, the black porcelain doll still living; unmasked, showing it day to day.
People might treat me like an outcast, something morbid, fake, superficial a non-reality
I’m not that person not an outcast but someone real now dealing with racial, social and gender prejudices, now a sacrifice that’s destined.
I’m in a middle of a transition, emotions going through my soul and body, physically changing, breaking down an old mosaic putting new one in place.
I’m the doll in the crystal dome, warped in pink, softly thinking. Now watching as new colors reveal it self day to day.

Women understand the wonder of a transition since they experience it in puberty. For anyone to go through a similar transition as an adult must be truly exciting. I hope you will share what you can with others because the more people understand this transition, the less stigma there will be in the future. Like it or not, you are a trailblazer who can teach others if you wish to.

Use of the word "exciting" in my post (above) was not meant to imply that a transition is a totally thrilling experience. Many of the changes are difficult. What I meant to convey in my message was that sharing experiences -- this one or any other -- can illuminate others and help them to understand. The fact that I used the word "exciting" shows how little I know about it and how much an education about it would help me to understand.
