Premium Member DIFFERENT THINGS TO UNDERSTAND
She was born a girl but inner heart she knows she is a boy and thus spends much of her young life life straddling the edge of joy. And it’s no different for him…in the same way his life unfurls… as he was born a boy but in his heart he knows he is a girl. I...

Help
At the slightest cry, we rush to give, But what of those whose pain won’t live In vocal words or audible plea? Will you help the one who hides silently? Signs appear—subtle, yet clear— Yet they resist, refuse to hear. Why deny the aid they need? What binds the heart...

Premium Member Those We love
Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us everyday. Their murmurs, soft, in tree leaf whisper defrosts my heart that did grow crisper with grief that stained inside and out when I existed with my doubt that vanished voices of yesteryear would come alive and stir the atmosphere. Breezy hands, they touch my shoulder, rustling lilac plumes and growing bolder— as shaking...

A black girls stance on self love
A black girls stance on self love Is one not often understood One that take years of healing One that understands the process of feeling Because in a world that shoves hate down our throat You can't be surprised when we swallow the bare minimum The relationship between a black girl and herself Is one not...

STAY
Come near do not take your gaze from mine The heavens have nothing on the stars of your eyes If you're willing take my hand. let our destinies entwine If not then fear not for your company will grant me respite A reprieve from the death of love unachieved The loss of my heart to an unassuming thief To be deprived...

Premium Member A prospering weed
I kept quiet far too long. I couldn't open my mouth, it seemed, not even for a peep. The perfect doormat. Welcome to one and all. Come wipe your feet. Tolerance is that ugly sin a coward learns to live with while incessant cycles repeat. Nothing changes when nothing's said, silence being the prime enabler. And like a weed, shame grows in the shadow of acceptance. AP: 1st...

I Found Her Heartbroken
I found her spirit heartbroken; she needed someone who would listen. Her hot tears made my own eyes glisten as on and on she labored, outspoken. In time, her story would in part, soak in; she wanted her baby to be christened. I found her spirit heartbroken; she needed someone who would listen. A neighbor’s harsh words had woken her to the fact,...

Premium Member THE BOY IN THE BLUE DENIM DRESS
We met him at the Pride Parade joining all those who came there to unite… He was wearing a blue denim dress and carrying a flag in colors blue and pink and white. He proudly waved his transgender flag…a freedom that seemed to give him joy… We weren’t sure if he was born a boy who knew he...

Her journey to self love
She sat in front of her vanity mirror Her reflection felt unfamiliar The girl in it didn't look how she pictured She felt like a visitor In a body that should be familiar Yet somehow she felt like a prisoner Not knowing how to feel about the person in the mirror who reflected her She wasn't...

Premium Member BRACELETS WITH AN S
We went to the Haywood County Pride Day celebration where it was wonderful to see all the people In Waynesville, North Carolina who turned out to celebrate diversity. We waved our rainbow flags at all the people walking or parading in their cars… proud to help them celebrate exactly who they are. When the Pride Parade was over we...

spring turned into fall
Heartbreak is rising heat in spring. Summer welded my heart back together, Fall leaves reminded me that time has passed so effortlessly. You’re turning into a faded memory and just another lesson. My weight, smile, and spirit is back into place. Soon enough, love returns back to my mind and soul, but never in the form of you again. I...

Acceptance
I haven’t truly lived until now. I have been locked away for so long In a small room in a place that was never my home. Home is where you feel safe. My freedom without judgment is where I feel most safe, maybe that’s home. That’s how I feel now. Full throttle and no chain...

She wore the wrong thing that day
That day she decided to speak For too long they had called her meek She woke up early Decided she'd wear something that would compliment her curvy Spent hours on her hair making sure each and every follicle was extra curly She wore dark red lipstick to cause a lot of controversy Her mom saw her said...
