Probably the most heartfelt I've ever written. The piece is entirely autobiographical and runs through most of my thoughts in the late stages of my early transition. It's more of a piece of catharsis, with influences from my roots of making music.

lyrics

At last the little lonely violet, could watch her reflection grow
In her eyes the mirror spoke a stunning view

She couldn’t help when two by two, enter the pretty girls in their hi-heeled shoes
At heart, she felt “I wish I looked like you”

I could sing for joy
And compare the sadness
Felt by the hollow boy
But nothing will come close
To the thought of you

Reflection shows an ethereal gesture, shown at last in her budding breast, but
Face the fact, it’s the teenage years you’ve lost.

By now the little growing belle hit count of twenty-four
Haunts a past that’s willfully forlorn

She don’t look back for nothing save when dysphoric thoughts try cave her head in
Watch you now, the woman you’ve become

Now grab your gun and jump the streets, cause freedom comes but its never cheap
Listen to that heart and come with me

At last, the reflection brought the lonely violet to the steps of soft curved truth
At heart a girl is Pink, and White and Blue.
