Hidden Memories
By Jesse James Doty
Boxes of family photos
Uneasy desire to see
how I used to be
before my transition
Have no regrets
and yet
something holds me back
from viewing my past
Wondering how I'll feel
How I'll react
Do I deny my history?
Resist the rising tide
Or is this a rebellious act?
Denying who I was
when I wasn't
how I felt inside
From my memories
do I need to hide?
So hard to decide
