Not gay enough to be LGBT+
Not straight enough to be straight
So where are we to go
Seen as invasive to one and unnatural to the other
To small of a group to confide in each other
So where are we to go
Left out of a group that preaches acceptance
Sure some that share our identity are bad, but they aren't us
We just want to be accepted, we just want to hear that there is nothing wrong with us.
We, myself and the ones I surround myself with, we want to stand with you
But so often we find ourselves stuck somewhere in between
So where are we to go

I thought you better than to listen to the fox
You knew it only tells lies, yet still you stayed
It has caused you to tumble down and now mocks
Though I yell you cannot hear through the blockade
You were told your actions held no consequences
But drop a stone in still water and watch the ripples
You know now your mistakes but have no more defenses
I could not warn you in time and it has left you crippled.

This is not a poem
Nor a collection of words
This is a construct of society
You are not reading words
You are observing a collection of random markings and deriving meaning from them
The voices you hear are not talking
They are making random noises and you think they mean something
Take this into consideration and realize that either nothing is normal, or that everything is normal.

Silence
Quiet and dark
Reaching, breaking, ending
It's always terrifying me
Stillness

There's pressure that I can't release
All I can do is distract myself
I deafen myself with music
To ignore the silence in my mind
And I write what little I think
So that I remember what it's like
To have thoughts instead of silence

Colors are changing
In the wind, things drift away
Is it fall or spring

Grey clouds in the sky
Pitter patter, rain falls down
Calming everyone

I've spent my life in the river's ebb and flow
Some days spent fighting the current, others just floating along
But now my river has no current, and I no fight
I'm stuck in a lake now, with only my hope
Most days I hope I don't drown, others I wish I already had

There were no shouts and no shrill screams
Only fear, darkness, and hostility
Although it felt real it was just a dream
But there were no monsters, just family
I'm scared though I know it could never come true
My trust has been broken by imagination
I will work to make my relations new
Though this dream has broken their foundations

You are a snowflake falling from the sky
Sparkling and tumbling throughout the night
I wish to touch but I must deny
Lest I harm you or cause you fright
I will only observe and watch you shine
As you fall and live out your life
And as I watch your final decline
You watch me melt and end my strife.
