DespiteDespite the distance,
Despite the stares,
Despite the doubt,
You are mine.
Despite the darkness,
Despite the cold,
Despite the emptiness,
I am yours.
Despite the unfelt touch,
I can look up,
I can gaze at the night sky,
Find Polaris and Orion,
The Big and Little Dippers,
And be certain,
Despite the distance,
We gaze at the same stars.

Lost...You're Lost..."I don't trust me, for loving you"
I wish I had the nerve to tell you to your face,
To put what I mean into sound, that you can understand and treasure…
You're lost…
Just like everyone else…
But no one knows how to help the other…

"This is more than I can give"
No, I'll give you all I can…
Because I care about you…
Because I want to be with you…..
And you're lost….
A lot like me…

Why is everything so complicated….
Where is my heart…
I do believe it's in your hand,
Tattooed on your skin, on your sleeve….
You're lost….And I can't be your light…
I'll bring the

My Label/ Hi, My Name Is...Sometimes I think I need to wear a label,
A sticker,
A collar,
A tag…

That will tell you what is wrong with me…

"Hi, My Name Is:
Easily loving, falls to quickly, doesn't know when to stop, tries her best but can't succeed, and only wants to hold someone's hand… to feel that hand on her shoulder when she cries…"

The ink would be smudged across as if written in haste, a couple letters bolded in spots as if trying to fix a mistake…So many mistakes…

The edges would be peeling as if to forget I ever existed all together…
Sometimes, I think I need to wear a warning…

So you will know ahead of time th

Be who you areWe are all human beings who populate this planet.
Being gay or bisexual/asexual/transgender is a wonderful thing.
People can be cruel, and disgusting, with the insane amounts of hate and fear we have for each other.
I know that I'm afraid of a lot of things, but I still manage to love people regardless of their sexual identity.
I love people. Both guys and girls. And I'm very glad that I do.
Boys are beautiful. And girls are gorgeous.
I have no problem accepting people. Because I know that pain hurts. And I know it doesn't go away. At least in my case.
I love you regardless of whether you're a guy or girl, gay or straight, black or whi

You, Just YouYou…..you make me think of,
Soothing lavender-colored cloth,
Twinkling indigo, midnight skies,
The first taste of autumn in a warmed coffee cup,
Hazel scented steam twisting everywhere…
Fiery eyes of gold and dreams of silver hair,
A glinting smile, a smirk….

The softest touch,
And inked vines coiled across softer skin,
Sleeping lilies and koi fish across bronze tinted plates,
And the comforting hand, the reassuring gesture,
For fear of metallic insanity….

Peeking from behind silver scales,
Towering above like sharpened swords,
Smiling to myself,
I watch your careful eye,
The weight of your shoulder against

Screamed her pain.I'm tired and I'm a basket case of pity.
Don't look at me.
Don't talk at me.
You can't see me.

I want to close my eyes and invade in my inner city.
Don't dare wake me.
Please hold onto me…
No… you can't see me.

Yes you do see me…
I'm so blind that I'm chaotic.
Wake me! Embrace me! Please!
Can you really see me?

I do want to go to bed.
I'm so weary…
Hold me please…
Notice me…

No.
You can't see me…
Don't mock me…
Please help me…

I won't be able to speak of logic.
I am emotional.
I can't feel me.
I can't hear me.

Please…
Look at me…
Don't fret, and just hold me.
Please… even though… we can't see me.

We go to sleepI go to sleep to dream about you
I go to sleep to hide from the truth
I want to lock my pain out of my life
I lost myself between written lines

You go to sleep to forget about me
You go to sleep to hide from your fears
Inside of the cage you lost your own pulse
Inside of the dream you don't care about rules

We go to sleep to dream about us
We go to sleep to reach out for the stars
We go to sleep to never stop
We go to sleep just to wake up….

It's Your Sick WorldYou're bold, you're stupid, the blame game is your friend.

Pointing fingers, shouting names,
none of them your own.

Swollen bellies, teenage bodies, where's the father,
why the bother?

Drugs replacing, mind is racing, colours facing, love escaping.

Designer brands determine friendships,
the popular ruining it all.

See the girl in the chair, dead in the centre,
judged, broken, offended, broken.

What do you do?

Judge, break, offend, BREAK!

Tear down the creative,
shatter the artistic.

This is your life,
walking a fake line.

Cherish it, or don't.
It's your sick world.

A Mile In My ShoesYou think you know me
Simply because you know I'm a homosexual?
You don't.
You think because you know
One simple thing about me
That you know all there is to know.
You don't.

I'm more than a homosexual.
I'm a father.
I'm a husband.
I'm a patriot.
I'm a community leader.
I'm a mentor.
I'm many things.

You proceed from false assumptions,
Simply because you know one thing about me.
You judge and convict me on the grounds,
Of my sexuality.

You don't know me,
You never have,
You never will,
Not until you've walked a mile in my shoes.

You can't even begin to understand,
The life I've lived.
You don't know the truth behind
W

Where We BelongI wan't to write a happy song
I'm looking for my happy place
But everything's gone wrong
Life slapped me in the face

I'm still trying to find myself
It's not in the reflections of their eyes
There's just one who can help
But they'll never realize

I miss that old life
But you're still mine
I'm promised by this knife
That was my given sign

Forever and ever
It's where we belong
To be together
Nothing can go wrong

To look in your eyes
The most beautiful place
And that'll be my prize
Your beautiful face

Era Of Silence

Era Of Silence

Cascading glares swim around my whole body
Searching for some kind of flaw that I might have
But they don't realize that my life is the problem entirely
I can hardly keep on hiding all of the imperfections I secretly grasp

Denial is simple / If you say so
Pretending is impossible / I can't let you know

So I no longer speak for myself
No, not anymore
I feel that I deserve this hell
My pure torture
-
I'm just too snared by the knives in my back
No one wanted to accept me for who I really was
That's why I had no choice but to put up this wounded act
But I guess that's what the feeling of losing everybody do

Insomnia and Body PartsThere were
Timeless moments spent between us,
In those instants and hours before dawn;

That time when we traversed
So far away from this
Wretched house and into
The most delicious darkness
Of Andromeda-

That time before our tidal waves
Came crashing down on us again.

I would do anything to
Drown with you.

The softness of the flesh
Between your knuckles, the
Exquisite map of
Leigh-lines
On your palms;

They were like a lullaby
To my sleepy fingertips.

You used
The breath of your mouth
To teach me to close my eyes
And fall asleep.

Your contented whispers and
Observations of the sky
Showed me then how to dream.

I had no id

One Year AnniversaryI lost myself in the mess.

I lost my self in the chaos and--

I found myself with you. Sometime back- I found myself with your eyes.

Within your smile, and within the words you seem to whisper when nobody else is around.

In my previous doubts, I would never believe we'd last this long.

The girl who stumbled behind you in those early days,

Would never believe...

You'd ever

LOVE

/Her./

After all...

You've never loved before...

But through it all I've learned,
And learned,
And I've yearned over you.

And realized I've never been in love

With anyone but you.

I'm days l

Will Not Back DownI am not weak
I say to myself
I know this
I am stronger than many take me for

I have been beaten to the ground
But I'm far more resilient than most make me sound

I have been violated
Yet I keep myself from being jaded

I have been hurt
I still have the scars from when they cut through my shirt

I fight back my nightmares
I know it wasn't my fault
But it's sometimes difficult
to trust others as result

Yet I pull through
I may not tell you
But there are ways to cope

The pain will eventually go away
And I will keep hoping for that day

I will not hold a grudge
I will not budge
And I will help others prevent
such assaults

Man

to feel...To feel someone's arms around me,
To feel a kiss, passionate, and deep,
To curl up together as we sleep.

Hearing your heart beat as i lay on your chest,
Holding you close, forget the rest,
Being happy with each other, no less.

Walking hand in hand down the street,
Not caring about the opinions of who sees,
Knowing despite what the world believes,
This love is real between you and me.

This is the simple happiness of my dreams,
Nothing extravagant, just having my love with me.
I don't have much hope left,
but i hope this will come to be.

INTERNAL CONFLICT

I'M SO AFRAID
OF WHAT IT WILL SAY.
I WISH NOT TO OPEN
THIS THING,
THIS TERROR.
I WISH NOT TO SEE
ITs CONTENTS,
ITS MURDEROUS CONTENTS
WHAT IF I CAN'T HANDLE IT?
WHAT IF IT HURDLES ME
INTO A DEPRESSION
SO DEEP
I CAN NEVER GET OUT?
I WANT TO SEE IT SO BAD.
I HAVE TO KNOW WHAT'S IN IT.
I'M DYING TO KNOW WHAT'S IN IT.
BUT I JUST CAN'T LOOK.
I'M SO AFRAID.
