I've always had a problem
with who is the 'real' me.
First I told the world I
was Bi-sexual, but I soon
realised this wasn't to be.
So then I came out as 'Gay'
with the feeling this was
the real deal.. I didn't
get a medal or an approved
seal. I dress more like
a man, don't feel comfortable
in a dress, have the body
language to suit. I even have
my Dad's mannerisms. The
words my mum always told me
'you should've been a man.'
Confused.. I sure as fuckin
hell am!!!!!!!!
But today.. I found the
answer, like a bolt out
of the blue, this is it.
I've come to the conclusion,
puzzled no longer am I.
I'm a Gay man in a woman's
body, skin and bone too.
So the question now is,
is there more like me?
Or am I the only one?
I know what you're
thinking and to be
honest I don't really
give a fuck. It's
what's in my heart
that counts, my brain's
already screwed.
So no I still don't
know who I am or where
to go. Therapy might
be a start.. I guess
I really do not know.
Happy is what I thought I was.
Elated now I should be.
Loving is my aim,
Paralysed by not knowing..
this is killing me,.
I feel suspended in time,
another sphere unknown to life.
I have two children, a husband
for god's sake I'm a wife!
Am I in a nightmare,
will I suddenly wake
up in a sweat? Jesus Christ
I think I'm losing it.
So my next question is
'What do I do next?'

This was written soo heart felt...I say in the end, do whats best for YOU! If you arent happy where you are, change it...I know it may hurt others, but YOU have to be happy with yourself...
Seems like you are certainly making progress by your honest evaluation of yourself and coming to some conclusions. And I agree that it doesn't matter what another single person thinks - as long as you are true to yourself.
I agree with JStar and Debbie. I'm sure it difficult, with having kids and a husband. I sure that's alot of what's weighing you down. At some point in our lives (u and me being at our ages) we need to take a good long look inside and go with what's best for yourself. I know and u know we've (moms,wife) always r putting everyone else in the front. So, I say it's all about you!!!! Do it for you!!! Make you happy!!! I know you can!!!
XO, Crytal
Based on what you write here and your comments here and there, I think you are kind and sensible. I think that is a very good start.
Indigo,
There are many more like you. I happen to know several and see them on a regular basis. Some are undergoing the process of becoming a man (even without the physical sex changes) and like to be referred to as "he" and they often describe themselves as "boi" though i dont know if this term applies just to lesbians. My point is, you are not alone. your post is very heartfelt. Its not always an easy road discovering who you are. You have to be comfortable in your own skin. I hope that this is leading you to a path where you will be. Many hugs!!
Hi honey. I don't know how I can help you but storey seems to be a great choice to talk with. There is always a place to start.
you have lots of support here in your blog with wonderful readers.

JStar ~ I wrote that poem with feeling being first hand, having summed it all up now and re-read it I have most certainly realised that I have for many years struggled to find me... I always knew who I was when I was a child, safe untouched.. happy? Ican't answer that one. So I have a lot of serious deep down thinkin to get through, see what I come up with, thank you.

Storey ~ really? That must take a huge effort to go that far.. I'm not getting cold feet but I'm not sure what my next step is right now. Thank you so much for this, I now know I'm on the new road and my journey could get rather interesting with some sea sickness along the way.

Indigo,
Everyone's road is different. Whats right for some is not right for all. Take it slow and enjoy discovering who you are. I'm glad you feel like you're on the right path though. :)
xoxo!
Any time sweet! Just talk to me, or any of these great folks here.
XOXO, Crystal

Whatever you end up being and whoever you are you will always have a friend in me, your Savy....
Crystal Girl ~ That's the only problem is talking! At work they say I never shut up, but when I do they worry I'm not OK. Thank you SO much..*sigh of releif*

BT ~ 27 years this year! NO I'm not that old Lol I got married when I was 22(a mere spring chicken)
There's nothing wrong with a wedding band on their finger, but tread carefully and enjoy the hitting.
