MADDIE / MADELINE
i long believed me mad
and longed to die
no difference made
by any line
i ever sketched
or tried
yet
NEVER was i mad!
a loaded die
wicked Loki threw:
when born was i,
a cruel mask
he placed,
a line
through an infant soul
he drew
So now
anew
I draw the line
deny the lie
at last
I have
made
the change
at last
reborn
re-made
new and whole
I stand
altogether
masculine
or feminine
no longer
altogether
mine
this soul
engendered

Nice play on words, your royal honeyness.
