Tell me I'm enough
Tell me I'm worth it
Tear me up with your words
Tell me you love me
Say you want me
Tell me I'm yours
Kiss my forehead
Or my thighs
Call me your princess
We'll stay up all night
Let's stay tangled
Be a mess
Tell me I'm your world
As I lay my head on your chest
Breathe my name
I'll breathe yours
Say you love me
Tell me I'm yours

Just tell them
your poetry
is now for
someone else.

Stand tall
Stand proud
They tell us
But how can we stand at all?
When we have been beaten
And broken
And stripped of our identities.
The past is not
Just the past
It is our fears
And our memories.
This is a fight
For basic human rights
And we will not surrender.
Because love
Is about love
And not about
Gender.
We have to break this cycle
The cycle of hate
And the cycle of oppression
Because too many people
Have fallen victim
To depression.
Love is blind
Which makes society deaf
Unable to hear the pleas
Of the people who would rather
Choose death
Than live in fear
In fear of being who they are.
So stand up for what is right
Stand up for those who
Cannot stand for themselves
Those who feel they have
No voice.
What society must learn is that:
Ignorance is a choice
Who you love is not.

Can't be seen,
Can't be touched,
Can't be smelled,
But it's there
Constant & consistent,
it grows.
Powerful & persistent,
it revels.
is everywhere:
In my heart,
In my mind,
In my daily life.
takes over life,
takes over people,
demands death,
demands people.

I felt everything.
Everything was all at once.
Heart drops
Stomach in knots
Now I'm screaming
Yet my vocals can't escape
I look at my hands
veins popping out
they begin to shake
I look into the mirror
Face is blank
But I'm filled with terror
My head is spinning
I feel the lights dimming
When will this anxiety fade?

In the middle of the night,
Picking fights with life
My hands, paralyzed
I can't unlock the door
No air coming through
My veins, closing in
Tears on my cheeks
Can't keep focus
Where's the door
and do I want to let you in
My vision, a blur
A voice in my head
Telling me I'm dead
A loud booming from somewhere
The door seems so far
I feel a wetness in my hair, on my body, everywhere
My heart, imploding
If only I could find the door
Find a light or let you in
The walls, they're closing in
No air
Your eyes, your hands, they won't go away
I'm stuck in place
Can't push you away
All I hear is a far away hammer
Eyes squeezed shut
Can't watch what happens next
My lungs, I feel them failing
From the screaming or from the bleeding
A clawing at my throat
Begging me for breath
The door isn't there
Where is the door
I can't die
My feet start kicking
There's a pain
Like electric and like a kick in the gut
No more kicking
My hands, still useless
My eyes see dots
Can't find air
Can't find the door
Your smile
Your face coming closer
Before everything goes red
Oh god I'm dying
Keep kicking
A swoosh of wind
Finally I feel the air
But I choke
Oh god he broke me
I hear over the booming
it'll be okay, you don't have to stay
And I so I stop trying
There's no light
There is nothing
