Chrysalis [Edit 1]

[Alic Elliot]

ReEdit 1

Trapped in a body
That is my own,
but is not.
Wishing I could have chosen
for myself.

How I could be alien
to myself?
When I look in the mirror

I'm not me.

Strange, that.
My preference of parts,
these versus those.
How some could be

So
Very
Wrong

Cloth wrapped around my breasts
binding them tight,
willing them gone,
hiding them under layers.

Chemicals and hormone pills,
stretching bones, painfully.
Building muscle, removing curves

Would it be wrong
To compare this
To metamorphosis?
