#afraidofthefuture
sometimes
I'm afraid no one
will ever love me again
truly,
not because of
who I am, or why I work
or if I'm a good
person or a bad one
sometimes
I question
who could love me
as someone
with a nonconforming
gender identity
I'm afraid no one
will ever love that part
of me again

Looking over bustling roads
Eager peddling along rivers
Helping yourself to seconds
Icarus falling with his sun
Caring for the desert plants
Imitating the love we hear
Talking for hours on swingsets
You are who you make yourself
Are you okay with leaving?
Singing with the sharks
Amber's poofing curls
Raya's needless laughter
Another reason to be happy
Together through new beginning
Old scrooge is actually kind
Good friends old stories
Another memory to hold close
Are you feeling alone?
Neapolitan ice cream
Episodes on Netflix
Working late on a Tuesday
Yawns passed around
Oval text bubble messages
Rush hour traffic
Kissing under oak trees
Chattering people
Indescribable assurance
Time on a ticking clock
Your choices make you
Are you ready?
Downtown there’s a band
Up and over the hills
New places to explore
Even more people to adore
Driving along the coast
Incredible architecture
Nearly older than the country
No matter the people
Zero worries but billions more
Are you afraid?
Acclimating to fresh new
Understanding and learning
Coastlines coated in silver
Keeping stories for family
Living in a large small area
Another day gone
Northern rock climbing
Days more, days more to come
Am I doing this?
Am I doing this?
