Can it happen here?
Brutality and inhumanity
Packaged as isolated tragedy
Rooted in insanity
Caused not by guns but by mental incompatibility
With idealistic libertarian reality.
I come from two different worlds
The past and the present
The acceptance and rejections
I still don't know which one is my world
Normalcy often sought by those
fearful of what they grew up absent of.
Who is to say identity is a sin?
That checking the other box is not
acceptable.
Bound now, but not forever
In this vessel I once called me
Betraying my soul whenever
Mocked by society
Liberation will come
Her touch is all I seek
With a kiss so powerful
Her lips will set me free
I'm angry
I have no idea why the fuck why, but if I did, I'd do something about it
I'm angry
If I knew why the hell I was angry I'd tell you. But I don't, so I won't, because I can't
I'm angry
Being Demisexual is wanting a relationship but not knowing how to date
Being ace/aro is wanting to experience love but not knowing how
Records were broken as well as hearts.
Hate caused rainbows to turn into storms
Within Pulse, heartbeats stopped.
The darkness will fade but the hate will stay.
Remember mommy,
how we would smile at rainbows?
Seeing them reminded both of us,
that the gray color of uncertainty
Has parted.
Can't Leave Me
I can’t breathe. I can’t see.
I can’t feel. I can’t be here no more.
All the chaos, the tension and war.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
You cannot fix the whole world
Not by action, nor by word
No matter the insult tossed in your face
You have long enough let this conflict unfurl
everyone is different, in eye color, skin color, body shape even gender.
we're also different with sexuality.
straight, lesbain, gay, or even bisexual.
but being that different is difficult.
You are just confused
Coming out about your sexuality is just like being abused
Confessing that I'm bisexual to everyone including my family, my feelings and heart was bruised
