"Time feels as if it began to stir" One of the most extraordinary lines i've read in a long time. Also, I feel like that is exactly what poetry is meant to do: wake time up.
This is so powerful to read as a queer person who also has gone through a period of gender discovery. Being raised as a girl only to wonder if you connect is such a raw and intense experience that you explained so well. I also came out at around the same age, and fitting the stereotype is so relatable. I think at such a time, labels became absolute instead of interpretation and personal use. Learning to express femininity is so profound to me, and I'm happy you shared your story. :)
I love love LOVE the capitals at the end of some of the lines and making some of them all capital. It makes everything feel important and like it is a formula to becoming a writer.
The use of juxtaposition with the night and day chasing each other helps the poem flow and convey its meaning. I also liked the personification of the season and how you paired them. Almost like lost friends.

I absolutely love the title, such a creative piece and absolutely amazing to look at. Wonderfully done.
I love when people talk about the little things and you presented it beautifully

I love the repetitiveness of "I gave myself an A" I feel like it helped keep the rhythm of the poem.
Thank you!
