17/Transmasculine/Philadelphia, PA In love with the idea of love and angry at the state of my country.
(*They) (*dejaron) We know exactly how / Sabemos exactamente cómo They know what they have done / Saben lo que han hecho They are the white mother coddling her murderous child / Son la madre blanca que mima a su hijo asesino Arming him to make him feel worthwhile in his usefulness / Armándolo para que valga la pena en su utilidad Enabled this for centuries / Habilitación de esto durante siglos This country has never been anything to be proud of / Este país nunca ha sido nada de lo que estar orgulloso There has never been a reason to love this country / Nunca ha habido una razón para amar este país People who look like me have never been seen as people by this country / La gente que se parece a mí nunca ha sido vista como gente por este país A country founded on white power and fear / Un país fundado en el poder blanco y el miedo A rebellious child of a country seeking to find its identity / Un hijo rebelde de un país que busca encontrar su identidad All while killing those who try to change the status quo / Todo mientras matan a aquellos que intentan cambiar el status quo This country has never been great / Este país nunca ha sido grande This country has no qualms about killing people it holds as non-essential / Este país no tiene reparos en matar gente que tiene como no esencial A country that values money over lives / Un país que valora el dinero sobre vidas And a certain race of lives over others / Y una cierta raza de vidas sobre los demás Has never been a country to be admired / Nunca ha sido un país para ser admirado

How The Hell Did We* Let It Get This Bad/¿Cómo diablos dejaramos* que se ponera tan mal?

Candy & Hoodies
I glance at you to see if you glance back I can’t explain it I caught you looking what a treat But I peeked back to this sheet Maybe you’re looking because I am Am I just being absurd? Your face is magnetic A prism of bismuth or iron But I barely know you Barely an acquaintance But I would like to get to know you better If you can stand me

Peeking Back
Oh how I melt and stutter Oh how I sputter and gush Over girls I just love them so, so much Hair and faces Ripe for pets and kisses And loving caresses Necks and chests Oh how loving them is the best ******* and stomachs Warm and soft Beautiful and sweet I love girls from their heads to their feet Dark or light I don’t care This heart of mine loves them beyond all compare

Skin like tiger lilies sweet and smooth Hair like dandelions of a golden hue Eyes a shade of chestnut I shall never know It is my heart that you’ve enraptured I can’t think of someone who keeps pace in my brain Running in circles You are the prettiest shade right in between purple and blue Quiet but not calm A joy to be around All of that is you

Flowers Under Moonlit Skies
At night, when the Sun begins to settle in its hammock I think of you Vividly, I imagine running my fingers through your hair Vibrant kisses that lull me off to sleep When I wake, before the Sun creeps lazily up the sky I think of you Butterflies blooming in my stomach Blush painting my cheeks Dreaming of nights and days filled with you
