An assumption that I've come to find Is apparently I'm Gay Not that I think I am No, I thought I was straight But I'm in chorus, and as a male who does that... Well, you must be gay. And I'm in drama, that's a nail in the coffin, right? I love art..? 'That doesn't help the case.' They say I help and lead a group to support LGTBQ+. 'Oh,' they say. 'I support you and the LGTBQ+ community.' 'I'm an ally.' I've done drag because Simply It's fun and expressive. 'Of course your Gay. You've done drag!' They say. An assumption that I've come to find That's become the fact of my life. People should feel safe with who they are, And yes, I love to spread that. But as a straight male who wants to do that. It's apparently Perposterus. Impossible. 'You must be gay.' But I'm not. 'But you must.' Ok, whatever you say. I'm gay.

I'm Gay?
The flash reveals a ghost. She stands in the present, a figure from the past. You can feel the future inside of her yearning to be the now. But it is not his time just yet.

Hand in hand, tears from two form a river The world stills in mourning as the little girl dies. He tries to loosen his grip, but her hold remains. The boy can only watch as she starts to fall Her body descending in the waves. Finally as she lets go, he tightens his hold and struggles to keep her afloat. Sinking under, she gently whispers “They mourn for you And the youth I stole.”

Waves, Wash Me Over
In the dusk of my sorrow, I stand silent and still, As shadows creep, whispering secrets to the night, A heart once aflame, now cold, shattered to fragments, In the hollow silence, echoes of despair resound. Her eyes, windows to a heaven I could never reach, Mirrored a faith that bound her with chains unseen, A woman of God, swathed in robes of divine duty, Unreachable, untouchable, as I stand yearning, forlorn. The stars above weep their silent luminescence, Falling like shards of glass, piercing the velvet dark, Each one a testament to dreams left unspoken, To a love that withers, starved of sunlight’s tender grace. I watch as the world dims, colors leaching to grey, The vibrant hues of passion fading, a distant memory, Her voice, once a melody that stirred my soul’s depths, Now a lament, a hymn of separation and divine fidelity. The light within me flickers, a candle in a storm, Battered by winds of regret, of longing unfulfilled, Her smile, a distant beacon, a sun eclipsed by duty, Leaves me in twilight, adrift on seas of melancholy. In the garden of my heart, flowers wilt and die, Petals fall like silent tears, each one a wish ungranted, The scent of jasmine, once intoxicating, now a ghost, Haunting the corridors of my mind with what might have been. Her touch, a memory etched in pain’s cruel script, A caress that burns with the fire of impossible dreams, I am a marionette, strings cut by fate’s cruel scissors, Dangling in the void, dancing to a dirge of lost love. Her faith, a wall impenetrable, a fortress of conviction, Separates us, a chasm bridged by longing’s fragile span, I am left here, on the edge of desolation, watching her light fade, As the darkness consumes me, my heart, a broken relic of devotion.

Eclipsed Devotion
In the dusk of my sorrow, I stand silent and still, As shadows creep, whispering secrets to the night, A heart once aflame, now cold, shattered to fragments, In the hollow silence, echoes of despair resound. Her eyes, windows to a heaven I could never reach, Mirrored a faith that bound her with chains unseen, A woman of God, swathed in robes of divine duty, Unreachable, untouchable, as I stand yearning, forlorn. The stars above weep their silent luminescence, Falling like shards of glass, piercing the velvet dark, Each one a testament to dreams left unspoken, To a love that withers, starved of sunlight’s tender grace. I watch as the world dims, colors leaching to grey, The vibrant hues of passion fading, a distant memory, Her voice, once a melody that stirred my soul’s depths, Now a lament, a hymn of separation and divine fidelity. The light within me flickers, a candle in a storm, Battered by winds of regret, of longing unfulfilled, Her smile, a distant beacon, a sun eclipsed by duty, Leaves me in twilight, adrift on seas of melancholy.

There's a book of saints that has been touched by my fingerprints But do not worry, it has not been sought open Not by me Or any There's a book of saints and the others have stolen it from me Translated it in a language that's is unknown to me That is foreign One that is on the tip of my tongue but it won't fall from me Words like that do not belong in a mouth like mine anyway I've left the notion of rationally a long time ago Why reason with a stone? When it will only be used against you as a weapon The only breath of fresh air I have is my own And it's dangerously decaying Flowers bloom in my bedroom But wilter in my closet You see sunlight can not find its way in there And I can't pry it open with my hands Because every time I try they become flowers But they are so beautiful Executes everything so stunningly That they leave traces of fairy dust They are the most pleasant thing to see It makes me want to shower them in gold Show the world that not all I do is ugly Or is unnatural Because isn't it such a nature thing to do? Bloom in the darkest of places And isn't it funny? How choices can be like flowers Be alive so unapologetic-like Except they are so fragile Yet so elegant Maybe it's morbid for me to compare myself to a flower Since we all know what happens when winter comes And I live in a vicious cycle of coldness Nonetheless, there is no stopping my beating heart when the sun comes Nor when the rain pours over my love Drowning me in lavender Do not worry I have seen what floods can do to fields of flowers How they swallow up any life and destroy it Send it to their death without a second thought, There is horror in this world That has been left to swim unchecked in these prairies for too long Ignored and said to be harmless Ignored when they drowned my fields of violets So no I will not grow into a rose I wish for you to follow me with this Yet words to teach you my language are untranslatable There's is nothing I can compare to the feeling of making a home out of one outfit Nothing to make you understand when I say I'm okay I don't need to change There are no words to transcribe the feeling of being content with your body And what it can bloom

A smooth head tilt toward the sidewalk, he gently gestures for us to cross When ignored, he snaps a bent leg into place as naturally as he's attracted to men soft, intelligent eyes glinting through his rainbow helmet His cycle stutters like he did when asking Jason out, breathing out life like he breathed out "I love you", a mustang anxious to rear up and gallop He soothes the handlebars with steady palms, then unleashes his bike's power as soon as we're safe on the other side, off to meet up at a romantic café with a man named Peter Ryde.

shoulder to shoulder psst, hey, see the girl next to you? you should hold her bolder and bolder, like a butch boulder, they smile and glance at my lips. sweet hugs and warmness touch and talk of baking, future plans. we'll make all the rainbow cupcakes. get all the genderless clothing. one look is not a future written in ink, but here's hoping.

I want to cut my hair I don't want to cut my hair It weighs me down drags me along the trenches of gender stereotypes People look at me, think, "That's a girl." And I'll turn the color of diluted self-harm blood; pink. Maybe I'll give Being androgynous a whirl. It gets all knotty I keep it in a dull, bland ponytail I don't think it deserves more Nor I But if I cut it, I'll still be in the stereotype Here, Another Queer! Look there, At their hair! Probably gay, By the way! And what if I look stupid besides?
