I found my letter to my future self
Written out in middle school

Back to the days I was very young
When I was still lesbian

I wanted three kids two boys and a girl
One year apart

Thinking back I cant help but wonder
Did I know I wasn't a girl?

Who knows? Who cares?
I am who I am

Since that is the case though
I will continue on from there

Wish me luck

You say “maybe,” but I say “we’ll try,”  
Through the rain, through the pain, we’ll get by.  
I see your broken pieces, and still, I stay—  
Not to fix, but to love you along the way.  

In every “what if,” I’ll hold you near,  
Not for answers, but for love to clear  
The storm you carry, the doubt you fear—  
Together, we’ll stand, no need to disappear.

Today, I ask you a question that may seem simple to some.
A question that others find impossible to answer..
Tell me, darling, what is love?

Is love the unbearable pain that you feel when you lose someone?
No, I believe that that feeling is just grief..
Tell me, sweetheart, how does it feel?

Is it a warm, excitable feeling that lights up your soul?
No, I believe that is simply happiness..
Tell me, love, what does it mean?

Is it the meaning of your life that is your purpose?
No, I believe that the meaning varies..
Tell me, friends, do you love me?

What right do I have to light their way,  
When shadows cling to me each day?  
How can I offer joy or cheer,  
When inside, darkness is all I fear?  

I stand and smile, a fragile mask,  
Hiding the weight of each unspoken task.  
What worth are my words, my soft embrace,  
When my heart drifts in a hollow space?  

Yet still, I try, despite the storm,  
To bring warmth, to help transform—  
For in my giving, I too might heal,  
And find in others the strength I feel.  

So even broken, I’ll still give,  
For sometimes it’s through others we learn to live.

The moonlight whispers, soft as air,
Its glow will vanish with the dawn.
We fade as shadows everywhere.

The fire burns with red and gold,
It crackles like a restless dream.
The winds will carry what’s untold.

Beneath the pale moon, I stand alone,
The sky holds secrets left untold.
Its light upon the earth is shown.

The night will swallow all that’s bright,
And silence falls with soft regret.
In shadows deep, we lose our sight.

The wind it howls through empty skies,
It carries whispers of the past.
Its call is one we can’t disguise.

The sea is silent, dark and wide,
It calls the lost with gentle sway.
Its waves, they crash against the tide.

The watcher waits beneath the sky,
His gaze will pierce the soul of man.
He sees the secrets you deny.

The path is dark, the trees are bare,
Yet still, I walk, despite the cold.
The shadows whisper, filled with care.

The crown is broken, shattered, torn,
Its pieces scattered in the dust.
A king’s last breath, alone, forlorn.

The fire burns, but none can see,
Its warmth will warm the hearts of few.
Yet still, it calls to you and me.

The road is long, and none will stay,
Its path is winding, ever lost.
Yet still, we walk, despite the way.

The song is hollow, lost, and weak,
Its notes are empty in the air.
Yet still, we sing with voices bleak.

The throne is empty, cold, and bare,
Its velvet seat awaits a king.
But none will claim what’s in the air.

The night is endless, full of pain,
Its shadows stretch from dusk to dawn.
Yet still, we wait to break the chain.

The storm will sing its lullaby,
With thunder loud, the skies will cry.
Yet through the rain, we’ll learn to fly.

The watcher stands in silence, still,
His eyes, they pierce the darkest night.
The winds will bend to his command.

The bridge is broken, yet we cross,
With feet unsure, with hearts entwined.
The water rises, deep and lost.

The rose is withered, petals fall,
Yet still, its scent will linger near.
The wind will carry it through all.

The stars have fallen, lost in space,
Their light has dimmed, their beauty gone.
Yet still we chase them, time and place.

The echoes fade, a distant sound,
The voices lost to time and space.
Yet still we hear them all around.

The path is dark, but we will go,
Our feet will trace the ancient way.
With every step, we learn to grow.

A whispered name upon the wind,
It calls to hearts that know the truth.
Its voice will never fade or end.

The song is forgotten, but it stays,
It echoes softly in the mind.
Its melody will never sway.

The mask is shattered, broken, torn,
Its fragments scattered on the ground.
Yet still, we wear it, bruised and worn.

The dream is silent, still and cold,
Its beauty lost to waking time.
Yet in our hearts, it will unfold.

The dance will never cease or end,
It swirls and turns through endless skies.
Yet still, we twist, and still we bend.

The eyes are hollow, full of pain,
They stare through time with vacant grace.
Yet still, they seek, yet still, they gain.

The soul is dark, but still it burns,
It waits within the quiet night.
Yet in its depths, the fire churns.

The wing is broken, yet it flies,
It soars through storms that rage below.
And though it falls, it never dies.

The hope is lost, yet still we pray,
It flickers faintly in the dark.
Yet still, we fight, and still, we stay.

Why can't anyone look at me the way I want to be seen?
Why doesn't anyone use the right name?
Why do I need to sit and deal with these pronouns that simply don't fit me?
Why am I told it's just a phase when I know it's not?
Why do people never look me straight in the eye?
Why do I eat alone, sit alone, cry alone?
Why can't I ever sleep at night?
Why do I see shadows in the night?
Why when people speak of me is "autism" the only word they know?
Why is it that no one wants to know me if not for pity?
Why do people hold out their hands simply to ****** them back?
Why is friendship so fleeting that it never seems to last?
Why does love always hurt and end in nothing but loneliness?
Why do I change for others who never even stay?
Why do I not even know who I am anymore?
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?

Starlight star bright
I'm lying on my back
Having a dream tonight
I wish I may
Wish I might
With this wish
This wish I have tonight
I wish you happiness
I wish for love
I wish for attention
Help from up above
Wishing and wishing
For someone to love
I'm sitting alone
In a lonely dawn
Hoping and wishing
To be proved wrong
I deserve friends
Everyone does
So find me my wish
Before I lose hope
Grant me some peace
Take my soul to keep
My sweet listener
Up above

Don't ask too many questions
I don't know myself
If you get sick don't blame me
I don't affect your health
I see accusations in your eyes
Blaming me every time someone cries
My mental state is crumbling
Leaving just enough to surmise
If it makes you feel better
Make me your witch....
Burn me to ashes in the forest
Wish I didn't start ****
Sorry you were part of it
Just make me your witch

There’s a running joke they tell,
That I dwell within the walls, unseen,
Only to emerge when needed most,
Then vanish once again, serene.

A whisper in the rafters high,
A ghostly step upon the floor,
They sense me there, yet never see
The watchful eyes behind the door.

As a protector, I’ve learned my role:
To stay in shadows, silent, still,
To appear when the time is right,
And fade again, with quiet will.

My hands have caught the falling glass,
My arms have stilled the reckless tide,
A shield between them and the dark,
A warden walking just beside.

No thanks is needed, none is sought,
For duty binds me, strong as steel,
To guard, to guide, to stand, to watch,
To bear the wounds they’ll never feel.

I hear their laughter through the halls,
I know the steps of every child,
Their world so bright, so full of trust,
Untouched by shadows fierce and wild.

And when the night is thick with threats,
And fear runs cold along the air,
I stand, a sentinel unseen,
Their safety held within my care.

For this is what I’ve sworn to be—
A ghost of flesh, a silent vow,
The hand that pulls them from the fire,
Yet never asks for thanks or bow.

So let them tell their jokes and tales,
Their phantom warden in the night,
For I am here, and I endure,
The unseen shield, their hidden light.

I took a chance

Told you I was not perfect

And yet you love me

I told you my hopes and my fears

Scars and insecurities

But you still stayed here

I want your hand in mine til the end of time

And I heard Queer Time works differently..

Wonder if you'll ever marry me?
Queer time represents an asynchronous temporality, where aging and experience don't align with normative expectations.

Sometimes I wonder what might happen if I accept what I should be

If I identified with the same gender as my pathetic little body

I wonder if I would be happier and maybe a bit less confused

If perhaps I'd never heard the terrible slurs others had used

I wonder if I could make myself like wearing skirts and dresses

If perhaps I could accept the name I had been given at birth

I wonder if perhaps If I were normal others might see my worth

Or perhaps that is simply the main issue behind it all

Maybe I really am worthless after all

I dont want your love

Dislike your attention

Do everything I can

To push away your affection

Boy get the hint because

I'm not going back in time

To when you treated me like ****

you
Can you still see me

Standing in this dark room

Talking to the memory of you

Your hand is back in my hair

The love is still there

Just like you never left

But that is not my life

I couldn't sit pretty

To let you create a pretty lie

And now I'm here and for all I know..

You may have died.

We just met...

You're an alter from the system dating ours

You fell asleep talking to me

And I don't even know your name...

But after an hour with your laugh...

I know I will never be lonely again

Hello.

My name is
Unimportant

My favorite color is
Black as night

My birthday is
meant to be forgotten

My love is
no one

My address is
nowhere

My best friends are
voices in my head

I eat lunch
all alone

I write words slightly hoping
that they are my last

I show little care for myself
Not worth it

I eat when I feel like it
only at home

One to two meals a day is
survivable

Weekends are my heaven
calm and quiet

I used to imagine my last day
but it is not worth it

I will disappear eventually
perhaps I was never here

Maybe I was your imagination all along
Your loneliness made me

Do not worry my friend I'm here
I will not leave you alone
there for those i care for. you know who you are

Mi voz es tranquila.
Mis sueños son grandes.
Me encanta leer.
Nací para escribir.
Hago lo que quiero. Pierdo cualquier pelea física.
Podría dominarte psicológicamente.
Sólo mírame a los ojos.
Soy un demonio en tu armario.
Adivina mi nombre y vive si tienes razón.

(My voice is calm.
My dreams are big.
I love reading.
I was born to write.
I do what I want.
I lose any physical fight.
I could overpower you psychologically.
Just look me in the eyes.
I'm a demon in your closet.
Guess my name and live if you are right.)
was in the mood for spanish but dont expect perfection

You're here, but you're not
Your back to me
A cold spot where you used to sit

You're here, but you're not
A smile on those lips
The ones I used to kiss

You're here, but you're not
Our friends, now just yours
They chose you over me

You're here, but you're not
I speak, but my voice
No longer matters to you

You're here, but you're not
The eyes that were full of love
Now, only hold hate when you behold me

You're here, but you're not
And I'm still standing here
While you're gone

You're in my room
Even when you sit in yours
I sleep in your clothes

You're in my shirt
The one I gave to you
When you were here

You're here, but you're not
Your earrings on my ears
You told me to keep them

To me, you're always right here
But in reality, you are not
Because you're here in my thoughts
My friend wrote a poem about her ex so I thought I would too

Hello, my love...

Do you still remember my name?

I'm sitting right where you left me...

A fake smile plastered upon my face

You said you'd be right back but...

It's been a few years... The kids are getting

Older and have countless hopes and fears

They're trying to make friends and I guess

I am too but even among all my peers I am

Still finding myself missing you... Nothing is

The same here now that you've gone away

Mist and Cloud don't remember you now

But the kids and I will still sit and wait...

For yet another winter's rainy day
