Can I-
intrude into your fantasy?
Can I tell you a shocking truth?
Can I become everything you hate
so that I can love myself?
Can I dream of a job with impactful meaning
into epidemiology and humanity's health in underdeveloped countries?
Can I hold a job in power while still being girly?
Can I not give birth?
Can I not have children?
Can I adopt?
I'm just asking so that I can understand
what your reaction will be-
Oh I'm not changing!
You can be sure about that,
But all you have to ask yourself is
Can I do that?
P.S.
The answer is yes.

This is POWERFUL. "Can I become everything you hate / so that I can love myself?" is a stand out line. I really see this as a spoken word poem. Love it. Keep writing!
