discovering i’m desirable as a trans person
hi guys!!! just want to share something i’ve been working on. i’m producing a song i started writing a year ago, and i thought i’d share. i wrote it because basically all of my teen years i wanted a boyfriend and felt insecure for not having one, because i felt inherently unlovable as a trans person and needed to be proven wrong. i’m finally at a place in my life where any romantic pursuits are purely to give love, rather than desperately trying to receive it. above all, that change took place because i was able to give myself the love i was looking for, and i hope that me sharing this can help other trans people
here are the lyrics (so far!)
i can’t see who i’m becoming
so tell me, do you think i’m stunning?
the answers always heard, but never felt
naive and hopeful for another
to give me what i could never give myself
but for now, i’ll find out when i find out
yeah i’ll be found, when i’m found
summer nights have got potential
find a man, tell him he’s special
then wake up to another empty bed
barefoot walking to the mirror
accepting i cant find a winner
but face to face with who lived too long in stealth
until now, id be found when i’d be found
now i’ve come around, we’re going out
let me know if u want to hear the demo!
