Sometimes I feel translucent
Because sometimes I “grin and bear it”
Sometimes I feel translucent
because I’m not transparent.
Sometimes I feel vulnerable
because sometimes I might be soft
Sometimes I feel vulnerable
but I’m not one to write-off.
Sometimes I feel defensive
Because sometimes discipline I lack
Sometimes I feel defensive
Because for others, I’ll fight back.
Sometimes I feel tired
Because I give it all I’ve got
Sometimes I feel tired
Because past battles that I’ve fought.
Sometimes I feel broken
Because I keep asking questions
Sometimes I feel broken
But it’s not from repression.
Sometimes I feel melancholy
Because sometimes I fight depression
Sometimes I feel melancholy
Because my own introspection.
Sometimes I feel sexual
Because my body takes control
Sometimes I feel sexual
Because my mind lets go.
Sometimes I feel bold
because my heart loves life hard
Sometimes I feel bold
Because I won’t live on guard.
Sometimes I feel strong
Because I don’t give in easily
Sometimes I feel strong
Because it’s truth that I seek fierce fully.
Sometimes I feel beautiful
Because this scarred body I see
Sometimes I feel beautiful
because only I am me.

Love this poem. Perfect! My favorite line is,
“Sometimes I feel strong
Because I don’t give in easily
Sometimes I feel strong
Because it’s truth I seek fierce fully”
I am the exact same way.
