Point Of View

When you look
Into my eyes
What do you see?

A middle aged man
Struggling with a past
Filled with violence
And self-hatred?

Or something else
Straddling the gender line
Neither fully male
Nor female.

Else
A middle aged woman
Finally accepting herself
For whom she is.

All maybe right
Yet are wrong
At the same time
In regards to me.

Looking into my own eyes
I see only myself
And no one else.
