Creativity
TRANSformation (My escape from “reality”)
Alex Schlater
Time Begins…
I often go into my own world
The complete opposite of what I am
A tougher stature of what I should be
Masculinity that is not of the average female
Imagining what life could be
What life would be
If I were comfortable in the role I’m put in
It’s easy to escape reality
Time goes on…
My world inches closer to reality
In reality I become who I escaped to be
Assumptions lead to lies
Lies bring me closer to myself
Questions thrown at me
Taunting me to see how I’ll answer
Faced with the uncertainty of what bathroom to use
In fear of being questioned or yelled at
Reality is hard when faced with gender separation
When my world intertwines with reality
I am finally comfortable
For most, their escape does not become their reality
For me, it gets closer and closer as time goes on.
