How to Endure your first Visit.
The gray skies stretch
Bleak,
The icy wind ripping at my skin
It’s time…
No crying, no whimpering
It’s not allowed
Look forward
Towards the border
The giant gray gates glide,
Grunting and groaning.
Gears grinding against the grime
No fear,
Don’t blink
Just walk in.
Shuffle with the crowd
Like cattle to slaughter,
“No laces or phones”
NOT allowed
Wait for your turn…
HANDS UP!
Metal wand searching…
Probing…
Clear, keep it moving.
Enter the room and you see her,
Eyes lock on eyes
You feel it,
Hold it in.
Hold her close but only for 10 seconds
No contact, no connections
It’s not allowed!
Talk fast but honestly
Don’t dally on the tragedy
Tell her that everyone is doing good
And that you’re doing fine.
Don’t waste a second
Refresh your mind
Of your only protector.
RIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG!
the sound of the bell booms in the walls
Your time is over.
One last hug, and no turning back
No sobs, no crying
Its…not…allowed.
But…
Once alone…
In the comfort of your home
Release the grief
But never let them see
Don’t let them know…
And…
Let…
The…
Tears…
Flow.
Yes, I’m attracted to pots and pans.
We’ve come so far
Only for us to fall
Again, into our own ignorance
Into the lies and deceivers
Afraid of the what new
Not long ago we had judgement on people who didn’t follow the 10 commandments
They hated the feelings between two people
Then came the fight for freedom to love
Over blood and fire
Our rights finally heard
Yet once our voice was found
It was quickly shutdown
The very people who fought for love
Now spew hate
Pick a side
You can’t like both
You’re going through a phase
You’re giving us a bad name.
That doesn’t exist
I’ve heard it all
It all priced my heart
And sparked a fire
Who the hell are you to limit my feelings.
I cannot hold down my love.
My heart is open to all who welcome it
I don’t care of the arrangement of your chromosomes
Or how the world sees you.
What matters is how I see you
What we feel when we are with each other.
You have a dick, pussy, not sure, still questioning
just a regular person or mid transition
To me it doesn’t matter
That’s the mystery of you
That’s the mystery for me to discover.
Maybe to the world I do not exist
But my voice will never die
As long as I live.
