i a m f e r g u s o n

by protecttrans

they cannot contain nonconformity, they already have my soul locked up in a cellar, a speechless being with incitement and spark, removed from the body: but as the transition approaches, so does my representation in society I MATTER I MATTER I MATTER a lifting of faith and aspiring traits, moving the crowds of martyrs amongst the claimed saints opinionated with my provoked past, and ripped from my own voice, i regained a spirit indescribable, far more powerful than anger: but instead, harmony and composure I MATTER I MATTER (my voice counts, giving quirk and spark to the souls in awe) YOU MATTER YOU MATTER black lives matter, as in the same sense /all lives matter/
