unspoken words,
years of silence

it is time
to spread my wings

to embrace;

i am transgender

Fat
People will call little kids fat and expect them not to get sick when they see themselves in the mirror

We put children in front of a TV where all of there favorite princess have 5 inch waists and think that they won’t see food as the number of calories it holds

As a society we bully anyone that doesn’t wear a double zero and then we act surprised when they **** themselves trying to reach “perfection “

light dims,
slowly folding into shadow
as peace slips quietly away,
while i’m distracted
by the shadows
i shouldn’t follow.

can i return
that hug to you now?

i see your face, see you’re struggling
can you tell me how?

to give back your smile and let you feel free
be released from the burden of our lengthy vow?

so can i return
that hug to you now?

then pull back and surrender, erase my grief somehow

damaged is the deed that is done
with a dagger who points to the sun
all your damage has been undone
with a pill bottle and a sink and a throat filled with guns
damaging the deserted is never fun
but its not good enough to be seen as one
when damaged tells damage about the sun
one damaged says no damage has been done

Why is it there is an invisible thread between all women
An understanding no words are required for
The fear, the pressure, the internal clock

i think i love you
i love the way you smile
i love the parts you hide
i love you when you’re sad
i love you when everything is mad
i love how you light up
every room that you’re in
everywhere that you’ve been
i know i love you
ramblings of a man in love

The Non-Poet
i don't know
what happened to you

i don't know
what happened to us

what i did wrong
what i did
for you to walk off
into your new life
and leave me in the dark

so many have told me
to forget about you
that i deserve someone better
someone that will make me happy
for the rest of my days

and maybe they're right
honestly
i couldn't tell you back then

all i knew is
some moments
i had a fire
burning bright and hot
in my soul
my hate burning up my despair
which seemed to have no end

but some moments
under the cover of night
when the world got quiet
and it was only me and the stars
i thought back on our happy moments
the few that we were able to steal for ourselves
and i couldn't help but smile at those precious memories
some of which i knew i would treasure forever
and i couldn't help but think
that you were the only person
who would ever understand me
and that i would only ever find happiness
in the messed up way i found it with you

it's funny
isn't it?
you betrayed me
you just disappeared without a word
even though you promised you never would

and yet
i think i forgive you
i know you'll never read this
and that's okay
cause it's not for you, it's for me
and the rest of the world to see
