i was doing better
aslan May 2018
i’m away from him

my dad, that is

i have so much good going for me

but i see him for one evening

and i’m back

to wanting to die

seeing no way out

trying my hardest to not run to that bathroom

and puke my guts out

i'm trying to eat

for him,

my best friend,

but i can't help

thinking

who would miss me

if i ended it all?

supa gay
aslan May 2018
Don’t ask me why
who, what, when, where or how
I just know, honey,
that I’m feeling a little extra gay right now.
I can’t help it,
I just am,
So, don’t hit me
with your far-right scam.
I believe in basic rights,
such as equality in all ways
you can carry a gun
and I can marry who I want, yay!
i have no idea^^

honestly
aslan May 2018
Honestly,
I’m glad I’m different
Because it means
That I don’t have to deal with you
Or your ****
Or anybody like you, dad
Because I’m different
I guess you
And your Southern Baptist friends
And your Catholic girlfriend
All think I’m going to burn in hell.
Well, NEWSFLASH,
You’ve been divorced three times
You’ve had four kids from three different mothers
You used to do heavy drugs (don’t think I don’t know)
You’re emotionally and verbally abusive
You have a ******* *** kit under your bed
I’ve seen the noose-knot ropes tied down there
Your girlfriend has been divorced twice
Is verbally, emotionally and physically abusive
HAS GAY FRIENDS
And used to misuse steroids.
So, before you try to preach to me
Why don’t you take a look in the mirror
Re-evaluate your ****** decisions
And get back to me.
Because I was born like this
There’s nothing anyone can do to stop it.
You made awful choices
That you knew better than to make.
So, *******
About your misconceptions
Because I did nothing wrong.
You did.
there's more poetry but i refuse to share it
May 2018 · 106
thank science
aslan May 2018
I told him today,
My brother, that is
He didn’t seem disgusted with me
Just with dad, for leaving me homeless.
He said “you’re still his flesh and blood”
And “that’s never going to change”
He said “I wish he would stop being such a *****”
Yeah, Jer, I wish he’d stop being
Such a ******* ***** too
Hiding behind a **** bible
Behind one **** word
And claiming he’s the courageous one
When I’ve come out
To him, the homophobic,
Transphobic, sexist, racist,
All-around discriminatory ******
Terrified out of my wits
I even picked a middle name
That we’d both love
But he just called me
A ***, a ****, a freak
Well, *******, *******
I’m a young man
Who dates whoever the **** he wants to date
As long as they treat him right
He doesn’t give a ****.
So, ******* and your
Preconceived misconceptions
Of what you think is right
Morally and ethically
You don’t know anything, *******
You aren’t me
You never have been
And you never will be
Thank science.
**** yeah

i lied
aslan May 2018
I guess I lied.
I do have poetry written.
But all of it’s a little too personal
To even share
With you.
Maybe in a few years
After you find someone better,
Much better than me
And have totally moved on,
Then I could share it with the world.
But for now,
I’m hiding it.
I don’t wanna get kink-shamed or kink-samed
I just want you to know
That it’s there
Either I’ll share it when I’m comfortable
Or you’ll ask for it
In a certain way
Making it impossible
For me to say
No.
i really hope you're not cheating on me with that ugly *****
aslan May 2018
I love you
My heart is yours
I wish
My body knew yours
And not his
Because when I’m with him
You’re all I can think about
You are my everything
But he’s here
When you’re not
I wish I could see you
Hold your hand
Kiss you
But you’re not here
And that’s not possible
I wish I knew
Where you go
When you leave on weekends
Because then
Maybe
I could see you
You mean so ******* much to me
You are my happiness
And I miss you
I miss that
You help ease my anxiety
You make me so ******* happy
I think of you
And I smile
I hear your voice
Inside my head, that is,
And I feel safe
And my heart beats wildly
I see your smile
Again, inside my head,
Because who could forget something that beautiful,
And I blush
My stomach flip-flops
I hear
Or read
Your name
And my skin tingles
I get more
Than a little excited
I’m not sure why
It’s so easy to write all of this down
And post it all over the internet
But not tell you
Why couldn’t I tell you
Until right before I left?
Perhaps,
If I had told you sooner
How I really feel
This could have been different.
I miss you like hell
I hope you miss me, too.
Please,
Just remember:
I l o v e y o u…
very, very sappy.

no inspiration
aslan May 2018
I haven’t had any inspiration
Since I left
Because now that I’m gone
I’m not with you
You were my poetry
And now

i really ******* hope she's lying to me.
because if not, then wow.
i mean, i really shouldn't be surprised.

adventure
aslan May 2018
a new adventure awaits
as i join forces with friends of old
i reach forward to legends of new
i begin anew
a fresh start

better than ever before
and nothing can *******
stop me.
do you still love me?

why is it so hard
aslan Apr 2018
why is it so
******* hard
for you to realise
that i’ll always be your
child, your blood
and that’s never going to change
just because the gender
i was assigned at birth
is different
than my real one
doesn’t mean
i’ll stop loving you
because you’re my dad
and i love you more than anything
i hate myself
so ******* much
i don’t think you
really know
that i wish i wasn’t like this
it’s not because i think it’s cool
or cute or a joke
i hate this body
i was born in
i want it to change
i know that
i’ll never really escape this
that you’ll always
see me as the little girl they told you i was
but i really
really
really
hate who i am
i would rather die
than stay trapped inside this body
i love you so much
i hope you know that
because you are everything to me
and i don’t want to lose you, too.
this was so ******* hard to write
i really can't lose you too

my poetry
aslan Apr 2018
my poetry
is just a bunch
of pretty, nonsensical
ways to tell you
all of you
that i want to die
the rest of my poetry
is about him

(you know who you are)
it's about you, p

goodbye
aslan Apr 2018
I keep saying goodbye
After goodbye
Who knew
It would be this hard?
I don’t want to leave you
You’ve all helped me grow.
You mean more to me
Than you realise
You are so **** important to me
You are my family
And I’m leaving you forever.
I love you
And I hope I’ll see you again.
i'm too good at goodbyes

komorebi
aslan Apr 2018
i stare at the ground
at the komorebi
and look at the way
the sun
is beaten,
broken,
demolished
and abused
by the branches
and the leaves
of the trees overhead.
they maul
and ******
the beauty of the natural light
the light that always
seems to shine on you
and brighten the ground before you
the sun
kissing your reddening cheeks
and making your eyes
twinkle even more
than they already do.
the komorebi can't even compare to you...

now
aslan Apr 2018
now
i wanted to tell you
but your eyes,
they stole my words
and chucked them into
the deepest part of the ocean
mocked me
so i hid behind my poetry
but then you found it.
i guess that was a good thing though
because look what we are
now.
look at what we are

I walk up
To the shop
And I feel
Vellichor
I smell the ink
The worn pages
Feel soft between my fingers
My hands
Trace the spines
And my mouth
Utters in the softest of whispers
The names of authors and their
Masterpieces
Searching
For the perfect book.
i need a new book
