Anxiety

IF YOU COULD,

Please tell me,

what exactly is

Normalcy?

Everything I do

Just to try and fit in.

And still it feels I will

Never win.

Chaos surrounding

weirdness abounding.

Too strange to be

Like the world around me.

Must fight to adhere

Show no signs

Of queer.

Bury the shame,

Act just the same,

Else you won’t be

Allowed near.

someone did you know

LOOKING THROUGH A LIST

Of people I might know,

Wishing I could see

People from so long ago.

Friends whose ties

Tug occasionally.

Family who’ve died,

leaving me bereaved.

Such a painful thought

A memory,

Leaving me wishing you

Were sitting here,

still beside me.

Stories I find myself

wanting to tell,

Each one its own

Exquisite hell.

Seeing so many

That I do not know,

With no way of reaching

Those left behind...

A quick twist

Of both heart and

Of the mind...

QUIET MORNING,

Coffee is on.

Children sleeping,

Well past dawn.

Warm embraces,

Reminding of simpler

Pleasures.

Love and romances

Sweetly growing from

Quiet morning moments.

Rare affection

Pulling us into the day,

chasing all darkness

Out and a way.

Locked in a cage,

Covered with rage.

Each step forward

A struggle in the futile,

Confirming limits unbelievable.

Going through motions,

Perpetuating the farce.

Knowledge of futility

Only pushing the fight.

Too stubborn to yet

Even consider the idea
