Even Here

Hands interlocking 
A smile that holds no hidden shame
A lake in a world on fire
Waves whispering promises of a future
Where even here
I am found


Let It Out

There was something inside him
Screaming to be let out
Screaming to be seen
There was something inside him
But then he understood what it was
And she let it out

Premium Member LGBTQ Living Youth

LGBTQ+ living youth, 
you’re not alone.
I’m writing you this day,
as so many of us love you.
Don’t be discouraged,
He loves you too,
He promises and delivers
the sunrise.
Christ is real,
LGBTQ+ take heart,
let your dreams take flight,
in the night He is Light. ~

Since When

Since when did you care?
about politics 
and gay rights 
and me.
since when were you loud? 
and made yourself proud? 
of yourself and your work and me. 
since when were you gay? 
but still not to say…
that you are 
but I've seen the rainbows hidden 
in your room 
and your thoughts 
and your eyes 
for me.

Premium Member Omnipotence of Love

If your Straight White God's
powers of love
are not omnipotent enough
to include ***** love
then S/He is too weak
diluted
polluted

For Me
at my humane best
as an integral part
of EarthTribe We

Curiously forgiving all
Straight White idolatries
of dark fascist powers
against green and fertile
integrity.

Don'T

"I'm not a boy", my child announces.
"I've always been a girl."
And without hesitation I say
"That's wonderful!
I can curl you hair
and we'll plan a celebration 
with flounces and flair -
go shopping for a pretty dress.
I guess you'll need some makeup
and nail polish too..."
She said
"Don't try to make me just like you."

Rainbow Kid

I am a rainbow kid
I take pride in who I am
And embrace the crown as I am
These colors I embrace,
This rainbow, running through my blood stream.
They call it debased,
But, I call it redeemed.
My identity I embrace,
Out of the ordinary,
I've Created my own special place.
Showing a full display to the world,
Freely,
Unapologetic,
And delightedly

A Transmasc Experience

Never so scared
Chains on my chest
Can't hear me
Help
Help

I am exposed
I will be hurt
So obvious
So vulnerable

Panicking
Shutting down
Can't shut down
Have to go onstage
Can't go onstage
Shutting down
Can't shut down
Have to go onstage
Can't go onstage
Shutting down

One hour twenty minutes left
Please help
Please help
I'm stuck

I need my binder
I left it at home

Home?

The meaning of home
Isn't a house
Locked in a dome
Quiet as a mouse

For they say,
"Love isn't love unless it's right"
Every day
Every night

Home for me
Is following my heart
But I can't see
Where to start

Even if
It's running through my veins
I feel stiff
Feel that pain

It must be running through my veins
Oh the pain
Never gain
But home just isn't home without you

Why Grieve Me

Just maybe
Maybe I can understand 
Why you say these things 
Is it to flood my mind 
To bring me tears
To stress me out
To cause me pain 
To make me ashamed 
Of who I am today
Or to make who I am
Simply go away

Why else would you say
That you’re grieving me
I’m still by your side
I’m still here
I’m still me
I haven’t left
And I’m not planning on leaving 
So why
Why would you say that you grieve me
When all I want to do
Is be who I’m meant to be

A FORBIDDEN LOVE

In quiet corners where no one sees,
Two hearts find solace, though love's not free.
A gentle touch, a fleeting smile,
In a world that deems their love a trial.

Their love, a secret they must protect,
From judging eyes and harsh neglect.
They hold each other in the dark,
Wishing the world would warm to their spark.

They dream of days without disguise,
Where love can live beneath open skies.
But for now, they whisper and wait,
Holding tight to a love the world won't celebrate.
