Poems (Page 2)

You think (a poem)

You think you know me.

I’m still oscillating…

For all my life I tried my best to meet your expectations, to fit into your world, to be loved.

So many saw it coming but ignored the warning signs. (a follow-up to my 2016 poem The Coming Storm)

In light of recent events, I thought I’d come clean and share… My Trans Agenda.

I stand tall, proud,
find strength in who I am,
inspired by my ancestors.

Don’t make me hate you.

Surrounded by people, blind to the tension. This patchwork relationship, this marriage of convenience, is falling apart.

Don’t mourn me or lament my passing.

I walked out of the din, wandered into the yard. I never thought performing would be so damned hard.
