    About this ebook

    From the Drowning:

    Seeds are planted, yet flowers still die.
    Clocks always ticking, yet we cant find the time.
    The kids always growing, the years flying by.
    Your sons getting married, and youre fixing his tie.

    Tomorrows are blurry, yet the past always clear.
    You start breathing heavy, and your end may be near.
    Thinking back through, remembering life,
    And all of your chances to make her your wife.

    Our time spent alive will never slow down.
    It scares me to death, just like seeing no gown.
    Why do I feel that there was some message I missed.
    Of how to live life, while embracing your twist.

    The worst part of all is you can never turn back,
    Mistakes that were made you can never unpack.
    The only thing left is to hold my head high,
    While deep down inside sometimes wishing Id die.

      Looking back is beautiful. As queer people, we especially deserve reflection. We exist in a world where we see queerness celebrated, but also demonised. Where who you love, how you identify, who you are at your core can be a death sentence. Our journ
