Gender Nonconforming/Brevard NC You're here. So, read. / My goal is for you to feel what I feel.
I have new pronouns! But first this poem doesnt rhyme. I'm not sure if this is even a poem. More of my...coming out. A clarification of sorts. At birth, the doctor said, "It's a girl!" Well, whoever stared into my mother's ****** looked at mine, and determined my sex/gender for me... **** Wrong. Errrrrnn. (Those were buzzer sounds.) My name is not Madison. And though I am the proud owner of a ****** I am not a female. My pronouns are not she/her. My name is Ty. Short for Tyrus. I am the proud owner of a ****** And I have not one, not 3 but 2 pronouns. He/him. And/or They/them. Either one of those is fine. To be honest really don't mind. I just ask that you stay away from she/her. :) Thank you for following this "thing" to this point. And thank you for using correct pronouns! Please read the bottom thing:

the power of pronouns and how stubborn he/she/they can be
never witnessing such a tableau; towering… glowering over it. he watched it in stupefied horror. glued there- stuck- frightened and traumatized; sensing it, his brain yanked himself back. alone...for goblins are not human. scary and sly, the truths of childhood. thinking the things children hate to think. he had found evil-such a tableau.

the evil truths of childhood
Most days I find it hard to look in the mirror. St times, I convince myself that no one would miss me if I were gone. My scars tell stories that I wish I could keep to myself I cry for no reason, and I have trouble figuring out the way i'm supposed to function, when my mind is such a scary place. But- I got out of bed this morning, and that's a start to getting better. :)

Getting Better Takes Time
"And if you are like me you love deeply. You do not give a **** about your own self, because all that matters is if they are okay. "

And If
What would your 7 year old self say if she saw you politely refusing your favorite flavor of ice-cream ( Mint-chocolate chip goes best with warm summer nights) What would she think if she knew you drank coffee black? (You used to tell your mother that it tasted like gasoline) You skipped breakfast (Your dad made pancakes every Sunday morning) Ran until your lungs couldn't take oxygen fast enough (No one is chasing you anymore) Counting ever calorie (You never liked math) What would she say if she saw you hating yourself?

A Letter From Cancer
Oh Ramen, Sweet as sugar You shall fill my stomach with a myriad of tastes. I am like putty because you’re my ****** Your enchanting dance at an unstoppable rate Sip, slurp, and swallow Everywhere you go I follow I can’t help but be the cooker Since you’re an amazing looker You’re the heart inside my soul seeing you every day is my goal It is my heart that you stole.

Ode to Ramen Noodles
I walk a path paved in penciled graffiti, Where outlined music notes Amuse my anecdotes, I walk with break beats in my blood, With brain waves pounding bass drums, I got liquid 808 fingertips And lips Malted with crossfade grins To spin surges of synergy Out of bottled up battles, Even my baby rattles Used to shake with rhythm. Wars Should pause for music. The power of harmonic symphony Just pimping me, Creeping up through cracked sidewalks, Wrapping shadows around legs, Up hips to necks As it grabs, Just pimping me, A dance floor ***** with Peace in and of mind, In circles of 32 Note by note, That lump of emotion In my throat Could choke, With neon freedom. Maybe it’s a pipe dream, That we could put down the guns And rave to the drums, That even silencers will be silent, And the smell of gunpowder Will squander for an hour, That there will be a day with no death, A day free of neurotic nail biting mothers Holding their breath, That their children will walk our land again, A day that suicide bombs Won’t detonate, That cries of loss and sadness Won’t resonate, A day that we won’t decimate, Our own race, The human race Maybe it’s a pipe dream, But that’s my pipe dream. I’ve spanned seas to see, That music brings harmony, I’ve danced along An African diplomat named Ife, Which means love, A Polish carpenter named Sebastian, Which means dignity, A Vietnamese banker named Ly, Which means Lion, And collectively, We, We're individuals, Smiling to that same pumping beat, That, Breakbeat, That brain wave pounding bass drum, That strum laced With a graceful hum, Making our race numb, There was no color, There was no history Because my history Won’t dictate me, Not that it's non-existent, Not that I’m resistant To believe that people hate Because of the past, But I understand personalities, And believe Everyone deserves a fair shot At being an individual Everyone deserves that music, Everyone deserves to have That path paved in penciled graffiti, Where outlined music notes, Amuse their anecdotes, Everyone deserves to feel Breakbeats in their blood, And brain waves pounding bass drums, Those liquid 808 fingertips And lips Malted with crossfade grins That spin surges of synergy, Everyone deserves what we have to offer, Everyone deserves, To dance to their own breakbeat Of peace
