🇨🇦Still afraid to be who I want to be.

They don’t need permission—they need resources.
They don’t need to be diagnosed—they need to be believed.

Every breath I take,
every choice to be kind,
every step into my truth
is her becoming.
I am allowed to be gentle.
I am allowed to be seen.
I am already enough,
and I am growing more radiant
with every sunrise.

I am not what the mirror says.
I am what I know deep inside,
a woman of softness, of strength,
of quiet grace and steady light.
The face I see may lie,
but I do not.
My heart tells the truth:
I am her.

For underneath the fear I feign, beneath denial's cold domain, a voice endures — it calls my name, and burns beneath the Blue Rain’s shame.
Beneath Blue Rain, I’m split in two,
the one they see, and one that’s true.

It floods my steps with shadowed doubt,
and tempts me to a safer route.
Yet every lie, though cold and thin,
still draws me to the truth within.

Blue Rain warps the shape I see,
not who I am, but meant to be.
The rain begins when I disguise
the girl who waits behind my eyes.
I question all I feel and see, a tide that pulls the ground from me. Am I just lost? Is this a phase? The Blue Rain crashes through the haze.

Blue Rain falls where no one’s looking,
soft as sorrow, slow and still.
It pools in corners where I hide my face,
and drowns the hope I can't replace.

It starts in silence, slow and thin,
a Blue Rain that seeps beneath my skin.
There’s a hush that settles in my chest,
unspoken truths I can't arrest.

In the mirror, Sara stands tall,
A journey begun, she’s ready to fall.
Layers of doubt shed like old skin,
Embracing the light that shines from within.

Dew drops, desperately dripping;
Green grass, gracefully glistening;
Solitary sunbeams, silently shimmering;
My morning, magically marching.
