Deep in my heart lives a spark, that one day grew and became a flame.
A Flame consuming thoughts and identity, revealing the true me.
It was in that flame's light that Michelle was born... (or should I say revealed).
For Michelle has always been here, hidden and sometimes forgotten.
But her presence has always weaved its way through my life, if only I had taken a moment to see.
I lament the time spent living in denial and yearn for life as the true me.
May my journey be swift and peaceful, minimizing hurt for my loved ones and friends.
As I cry out "I just want to be me"
