You don't have to run to know what resistance feels like

How to come out?

I've been trying to come out to my mother
as trans
It's been super stressful because no matter how many ways I tell her she doesn't understand. It also doesn't matter what form I tell her in she doesn't get it.

It's times like these that I really just want to run away
I want to be normal
have normal relationships
work in a normal job

not want to cry
not be lost to my family
not be scared to walk at night
or alone at all

I pretend to be strong
but sometimes I just fall apart 100 different ways.



Let's top it off with my brother's 'broken' ankle
he has a severe fracture.
DAMN IT
