This is the light of the mind, cold and planetary The trees of the mind are black. The light is blue. The grasses unload their griefs on my feet as if I were God Prickling my ankles and murmuring of their humility Fumy, spiritous mists inhabit this place. Separated from my house by a row of headstones. I simply cannot see where there is to get to. The moon is no door. It is a face in its own right, White as a knuckle and terribly upset. It drags the sea after it like a dark crime; it is quiet With the O-gape of complete despair. I live here. Twice on Sunday, the bells startle the sky ---- Eight great tongues affirming the Resurrection At the end, they soberly **** out their names. The yew tree points up, it has a Gothic shape. The eyes lift after it and find the moon. The moon is my mother. She is not sweet like Mary. Her blue garments unloose small bats and owls. How I would like to believe in tenderness ---- The face of the effigy, gentled by candles, Bending, on me in particular, its mild eyes. I have fallen a long way. Clouds are flowering Blue and mystical over the face of the stars Inside the church, the saints will all be blue, Floating on their delicate feet over the cold pews, Their hands and faces stiff with holiness. The moon sees nothing of this. She is bald and wild. And the message of the yew tree is blackness -- blackness and silence

The Moon And The Yew Tree
Being transgender is like this: Everyday of your life, you have always wanted a dog. For as long as you can remember-- even if you don't know to what extent-- you have wanted one. You asked your parents, Santa, the easter bunny, even the tooth fairy. Then one day you get a dead cat for your birthday. You say "This isn't a dog," But "You get what you get and don't get upset" So you carry around and care for the dead carcass. All sorts of people look at you, unable to understand what you are doing. So then one day you decide to try to make it look a bit nicer. You wash it a bit, comb what little fur it has left, cover the decrepit limbs. But then you realize the futility in doing this all the time, because you are still carrying around a dead animal. So you continue to carry it around because you have to, no matter how horrible it may be. Although you are carrying around a dead and rotting cat, you aren't a ******* cat owner; You still want a ******* dog.

Being Transgender
You say you love me, Then threaten to leave me. When does this love Become unhealthy? When you tell me that After this I can't have any more partners? As though I had any say in yours. When you enforce a set of boundaries While completely disrespecting Those I ask of you? When you don't want to hear about it But you do want to hear about it And if I don't tell you about it Then you're just as upset As if I'd brought it up? When you call me while I'm working Yelling because you say I ****** up And you want to hear me cry Because then you'll know That I still care about you? When you're telling me How in love you are with me And how you love when we connect While telling your other partners That I'm really just immature And a horrible person for Trying to hold your hand? What about when You're trying to control Your partner's and my behavior By telling them that They can't hang out with me Or be my friend anymore Since it's a choice of solidarity And it breaks their loyalty to you? Completely disregarding that We are best friends too? Or when you expect me to call into work Because you aren't satisfied with The way our discussion ended And you think that you need to be Always my main priority Over even my financial security? When I'm expected to be present Whenever you want to talk about us Or about an issue we're having But if you don't want to talk about it Then you'll just turn your phone off? Or what about when You boast about how Open and transparent you are Then turn around and Expect me to know what your feeling And how to fix it Before we even talk? And if I don't know Then I guess I'm just stupid Which only makes you more angry And lastly, What about when I'm trying to talk to you about the things That are causing me pain But you can't even listen to me Because you just get angry Because of course I'm just demonizing you? And even if my feelings are valid So are yours And you think I'm wrong So nothing ever changes When do I draw the line And walk away from this "love" That I honestly Don't know if I feel anymore?

she was leaving and got the gumption to see me before she did so we went to dinner she sat, crumpled at the edge of the booth playing with her silverware hands sweating our knees barely touching underneath the table they shook like the day we met they shook like floodgates when the clouds get upset her hair was drawn back into an apology and she didn't answer when the waiter asked for drinks she pans, tilts looking for the restroom but doesn't get up covers her mouth to hide her furled chin i cut her a piece of bread not sparingly i didn't want to ruin the symbolism of cutting a gangrenous thing from ones self she half wept out "tell me a joke" i thought to say "look at us." that's it. that's the joke. the premise & the punch line sharing some silence here in this ominous moment so thick with goodbye you could touch it i said "when they asked what the name was for the wait, i should've said "awkward, party of 2" but that's not the joke "knock knock" she whispered "who's there?" i sat for a moment and said "so we've come full circle.. we're even in the same seats, from all those months ago" her lips quivered and she hid her mouth "i just wanted to hear a joke" she said i came back with "if i fell for you in a quiet restaurant & no one was around to hear it, does the laughter of children i drempt we'd have make a sound?"

dialogue & jargon
In all my paralyzing confusion, only one thing is needed; in all my anxiety over my much less than ideal circumstances, only one thing is needed; in all my this-is-so-unfair discouragement, only one thing is needed; in my pressing-down-like-a-boulder-on-my-chest grief, only one thing is needed; in my feels-like-my-insides-are-being-scraped-out sorrow, only one thing is needed; in my falling-apart-at-every-seam life, only one thing is needed; in my can’t-seem-to-muster-the-will-to-get-out-of-bed depression, only one thing is needed; in my sure-I’m-finally-going-crazy state of mind, only one thing is needed; in my so-mad-I’ve-got-to-throw-and-break-something anger, only one thing is needed. In the scorning and tormenting face of rejection or betrayal or failure or devastating news or disfiguring disease or the worst fears of my heart coming to pass, only one thing is needed—to come and sit at Jesus’ feet and listen to what He is saying. To entrust myself to Him, to acknowledge His presence with me, to submit myself to His perfect authority over me, to just look at Him and recognize His all-surpassing worth, to feast on Him, to wait for Him to speak and know that He longs to do so more than I long to hear it, to meditate on His Word and speak it back to Him both in praise and request and to ask Him exactly what it means for me right now, to be ready to respond to Him in obedience and follow him wherever or however He leads, to be willing to tune out every competing voice no matter how well-intentioned and to say “No!” to whatever He has not called me to, to believe that He cares deeply and passionately for me both in His emotion toward me and in His personal tending of me, to see that the details of my life matter even more to Him than they do to me and that He holds every one of them in His hands and is perfectly directing them for intimacy and glory, to refuse to be drawn away or worried or upset by the many preparations and distractions all around me by casting every burden down before Him and taking up His all-sufficient grace for every need, and above all to want Him more than anything and to let everything else fit into that all-pervasive desire—this is the ONE THING that is needed both now and throughout every season of my life, and if I will choose it, it will not be taken from me. It is the one thing worth fighting to the death for and will, no doubt, require just such a dying again and again and again...

The One Thing

You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? 'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise. Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops. Weakened by my soulful cries. Does my haughtiness offend you? Don't you take it awful hard 'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines Diggin' in my own back yard. You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may **** me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I'll rise. Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I've got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs? Out of the huts of history's shame I rise Up from a past that's rooted in pain I rise I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise I rise I rise.

I hate everyone and everything. which is understandable of course, because I'm a teenager. and yeah, I'm bound to be positive and loving at times, because life is composed of both ups and downs. but when I go down, I hit bottom. --- and at those times in specific I want everything to disappear, and I want everyone to leave me alone alone alone. and sometimes, that includes you. --- but most times, I just wish you were there to hold my hand and bring me back to reality. because no matter how hurt and upset I am, I always love you you you.

"everything's blurry, but the feelings are real"
No, it doesn't happen Through secret glances And shy smiles Nor does it happen When you gaze into ones Deep crystal eyes It doesn't happen In the midst of flashlights Or romantic background music It happens When you see deep within Ones soul Not just the window But the whole house of emotions It happens When he grows meadows of daisies Inside the ugliest parts of you It happens When he caresses your tear stained face In 2 in the morning And holds you like you're gold It happens When you're upset over him Not being there for your little fits It happens When the suitcases under your eyes Are packed With thoughts of him And only him It happens When you're too young To fully comprehend What the universe holds for you and him But what if At a tender age of fifteen You know he's the one? The one That holds the perfect fit To your broken soul It happens When you least want it to

Roses aren't always red & voilets aren't exactly blue, The society we live in Never seems to speak the truth. Smiles aren't always happy & frowns aren't always upset, People judge too quickly our feeling are what they forget.

To my Daddy on Father's Day When I was young and small, I was your little girl. As I grew and grew, I stayed your little girl. Now, 18 years later, I'm still your little girl. When I am twenty, Thirty, Forty, Fifty, I will still be your little girl. No matter where I go, Or how old I grow, I will still be, Forever and always Your little girl. You were my cheerlearder, Calling and whistling from the stands, Since I was smaller and tinier Than all those who played. You were my coach, Helping me and teaching me Giving me confidence Showing me what it meant to be an athlete. I took what you taught me And applied it to my life Making me, Forever and always Your little girl. You were my personal chef, Teaching me to love the finer foods And that cooking is an art. Healthy and not Food was to be treated specially Cooked and baked just right. Nothing has ever compared to what you have made. Spoiled and exposed to the best Making me, Forever and always Your little girl You were my supporter, When I was upset and had nowhere to turn. You taught me to be tough And to be strong. You said I could do anything, Be anything I wanted, That being a girl made no difference. You taught me to love myself, To take care of myself To defend and stand up for myself, Making me, Forever and always Your little girl. When I was small and tiny, I was your little girl. As I grew, I remained you little girl. Today I am you little girl. Tomorrow and the day after I will be your little girl. No matter where I go, No matter how old I grow, No matter where you are, No matter how old you are, I will Forever and always Be your little girl. Happy Daddy's Day I love you <3

Noting changes. Nothing grows. Empty highs. Empty lows. I can't feel the warm, And I can't feel the cold. You try to make me happy, And I try just for you. But other than our trying, Nothing else is new. I worry I'll upset you, If I can't make a change. It's not fair of me, To make you stay the same.

Ye got to Fancy this Hearty Stout, Aye, Soot-soaked with tub-flavoured Laurels of Gold Now bloke-haste Juggers tick your nerves on-high And make ye shout the Trumpet-Football-Fold Yet so, our Celtic Spirit comes to call For you to Jig their Post-Victorious Dance Or, if upset, prefer to keep knees on hold And hope such Font will get you that Romance Still, never deny those After-Glugs won't count In palling the Bet for Arsenal's Wear Sudden Death Match will cause the Team to Mount And show those Charbarrels a Reason to Tear. Raise a Swig, to where there Brave Captains be I take me Share, and drink the Sailor in me.

SONNET TRIBUTE: GUINNESS IRELAND
Can’t fall asleep Awake exhausted with only a few hours of sleep Mind clouded with thoughts of death Go down stairs mom gets upset you should have left by now Put on my makeup , maybe it can hide my insecurities Swallow the pill that suppresses my personality Go to school to feel humiliated Feel the glares as they stare Late again ? don’t you have any friends? So try to pretend I don’t eat yet I still taste defeat I have a billion thoughts but can’t find the words to speak No one can help me if I’m trapped in my own thoughts

Adhd Depression
More often than Christmas More important than New Years Don’t miss the opportunity when the chance is there A sunset while the burning sand touch our feet and We’re standing so close to the water that it tickles our skin Sometimes it’s two people Two objects Or even two spirits We sit and watch the sunset The sunset that broke our hearts The sunset that stole our first kiss The sunset that took our souls We're standing at this sunset watching it fade You’re the sunset that hurt my heart, but you’re also the sunset that taught me not to cry more than once And you’re the sunset that said if they walk away just watch and don’t speak I feel you watching me but I’m too busy watching the sunset Then you’re upset because I am not paying you any attention I love you and you loved me The sunset is gone now, so I finally look at you But you’re not there The sunset told me you would walk away and I watched you, but didn’t speak But the sunset told me to only cry once so I will shed tears this one time Tomorrow I will smile again when I watch the sunset And this time… I will look at you before you walk away

Sunset
Conjunctions creak, the adverbs ache, nouns bear more than they can take. Verbs are screaming for Ben-Gay while pronouns atrophy away. Adjectives have lost their bite, possessives just give up the fight. The subject's upset, naught agrees, which weakens metaphoric knees. Contractions all together moan; the objects better left alone. Ah, life is at a frightful stage when poets and their poems age.

“I'm big, you're little. I'm smart, you're dumb. I'm right, you're wrong.” This is what you've taught me, but I've learned another way. I try to be so peaceful, I practice every day. I've been through quite a lot, And I've had to be so strong. My message must have gotten lost, been fighting for so long. You raised me as a woman, Yet you treat me like a man The way that I'm reacting often goes against my plan. I'm trying to reach out and you call it my excuse. What you see as parenting, Feels like abuse. I feel very threatened and begin to snap back; I realize my mistake too late, I try hard to retract. I need some space to breathe, I need a little air... You get so worked up; leaving no room for repair. I try to walk away, I try to be alone, But you will never let it be And that is set in stone. I feel backed into a corner, As though I have been trapped. You push me all my life And expect that I won't snap. I am very agile, But I am just a person. I try to learn to bend so the problem will not worsen. You think that I'm rebellious And full of disrespect Whenever I'm defensive As I am made upset. I don't want to feel scared And I don't want to feel pain, Once you introduce those feelings It can drive a girl insane. I'm sorry that I haven't turned out quite how you expected. My problems are ignored And my person feels rejected. Expose me to the anger of which I have been subjected... I forget why I'm hurting and I follow your objective. The things that I'm saying are just sitting in my head, You may not remember them as things that you once said. I don't mean to preach and I don't try to follow, But your anger is so loud That I find mine hard to swallow. I'll leave if you need me to, But that's not what i need. I want to coexist with you, I'm just not up to your speed. I need love and I need patience, But you have your own issues And you cannot face this. It's chalked down to "He's old and he'll never change his ways" If this isn't an excuse, I don't know what more to say. You think that we are different, but we are quite the same. You don't see yourself in me And I find that quite strange. You say I make my problems Into someone else's, While doing just the same... Am I the only one who is selfish? I never mean to do or say the things that I have I wish that you could help me out, but you are just my dad. You are who you are, no matter who it affects. I just have to get over it, as everyone expects. I'll try not to be like you; Try to avoid all of your habits. The idea is in front of me, I just can't seem to grab it.

No I'm not depressed because I'm fat. No I'm not depressed because I'm being bullied. No I'm not depressed because I didn't get what I wanted. But I am depressed but only because of the simple fact that the person I want to be and the person I am are two different genders. No one wants to help a transgender child. No one cares if we have feelings or not. No one understands that the wrong pronouns can upset us. But when they do...its too late.
