Selfish
Pretty girl
You thought you knew her from the start
Everything about her from appearance to her heart
You loved her
Or what you thought she was
Put your labels on her and you did it just because
You knew her
Chubby girl with a pencil in her hand
Nose up in a book cause people she just couldn’t stand
She was different
But you still called her precious
Such a great granddaughter, niece “our god has really blessed us”
Did you love her?
When you hurt her just because
Teased her til she cried and called her names that f*cked her up
You f*cked her up
You say you couldn’t cause your family
Though you ignore her needs and push her down and say that she's unmanly
Now you mourn her
Cause she told you she had changed
He cut his hair and changed his name so you called him deranged
You said he killed her
Did he really though?
You didn't see the smile when he told her she could go
He saved her
And she's part of who he is
His smile and his laughter every part of what is his
She’s still there
But you don’t get her anymore
For you drove her to sit bloody on the freezing tile floor
While he freed her
He and her are holding hands
You don’t get the girl I was, you’ll never get the man I am

Hi! My name is Nico (he/him)
I'm a transgender artist and writer. It really helps me to release and deal with my emotions through art and I hope to share that with others as well.
