look at me. listen to me. bigots and queerphobes don’t know the distinction between a trans person, a gnc cis gay person, and a cisgender heterosexual crossdresser. all of these people are just queer degenerates to them. that is why their anti-drag bills are written so vaguely as to encompass any possible mundane gender nonconformity - so they can target as many of us as possible in one ruling. and that’s why you need to stop trying to put lines between these groups in regards to ‘who’s more oppressed’ and ‘who has the right to talk about gender’ - gender nonconformity and transgenderism are punished in exactly the same way. cut one of us and the other bleeds. our fight is the same.

#emo poetry #we don’t have the luxury for a queer renaissance right now #you defend trans people you defend cishet crossdressers you defend guys who paint their nails and wear eyeliner do you fucking get it

[localchemicalweapon]

you ever love someone so intensely that it hurts to think about how useless you are to them? i wish i could give you everything, but i’m a speck in this world and nothing i can offer can quantify what you mean to me. it is not romantic. it is a deep-rooted desperation to uplift you, vanish your pain, and provide you companionship. i could say “i love you,” but three words cannot withhold the ache in my heart when i think of you.

Scraps

I will sit under the table and beg for scraps of the life I want to live.

I promise not to bite.

I promise not to snap at your hand.

As long as you, my love, are the hand feeding me.

is this it?

is this all i will have in life?

friendships with people i can no longer recognize,

a paralyzing, empty feeling

staring at myself through a window

living this horrible life

with a looming feeling that someone is watching me

living this horrible life

as a stranger stares back in the window

is this it?

is this all i will have in life?

A Gust of Wind Vol.3, 8.24.23 “After Childish Games of Pain"

Too many teeth, cut and cracked Upon my closed hands Biting, words too, unwrapped Presence to sink teeth into The very marrow that demands Guarded yet the world gnaws through Bleeding knuckles Struck, reprimands Beneath such pressure, buckles I am not made for human consumption Do not put me into the great machine Spit me out, not on, and I will reject such corruption There is no piece of me worth parting No pasture ventured, greater green When did I become the rock, waves crash upon departing? After fear, and pain; the hurt long felt Wounds, unhealing, always seen How is it I remain, thinking within the soil I’ve dwelt

[sadpoet-m]

I tried to write about you once more, yet words remained elusive,

Attempting to speak, but a lump stifles my voice, unyielding and reclusive.

Within my mind, a symphony of thoughts chaotic and untamed,

A battle rages between delusion and clarity unnamed.

Perhaps I should depict losing you as emerging from ocean's grasp,

Left on freezing shores, as your embrace slips, an enduring clasp.

Atleast in suffocating waves, the water did satiate my lungs.

Rather than this void, an emptiness profound.

Though our love was turbulent, it was ablaze in fiery red,

Now it's an icy blue, love's warmth far fled.

At least in the chaos, I knew it was hunger I felt

Unlike now, where emptiness is all that is left.

At least I felt, rather than being numb,

In the icy void, my heart has become

I'm emotionless, and yet I feel pain.

I'm empty inside, and yet I feel completely filled with hate.

There is a center to this poem But we cannot look at it yet

I check out a Harry Potter book to a student It leaves a bad taste in my mouth See, in the past 10 years the author has become The face and checkbook of a hate movement

Tighter

I moved here with my partner two years ago There were multiple contributing factors I left my community and the hills that I love In hopes of finding opportunity and stability

Tighter

I try not to use public restrooms It's a habit I picked up young See, when I was eleven some kids in my class Started a rumor that I was a lesbian

Tighter

In 2022 there were 174 anti-trans bills Proposed across the nation In 2023 there were 588

Tighter

My best friend is moving this summer She's thinking Santa Fe or Salt Lake City

Tighter

It is currently illegal in Utah to use a public facility That is designated for the "opposite biological sex"

Tighter

There is a center to this poem But I cannot look at it yet

In 2016 I had to go to work after Pulse and pretend to be ok In 2022 I had to go to work after Club Q and pretend to be ok

Tighter

There's a pervasive casual homophobia that permeates this place That my peers either don't notice or don't want to draw attention to Am I able to protect these kids?

Tighter

A man on the street insults my transfem roommate When I tell him off he laughs at me and calls me a dyke Am I able to protect myself?

Tighter

There is no center to this poem There is an absence, an empty desk There is a grief I cannot look at

Nex Benedict was 16 years old. They were a trans nonbinary Choctaw student Nex Benedict was beaten by his classmates in a school bathroom And died the next day.

There is no center to this poem It's been erased Oklahoma state legislators have called Nex's death A tragedy that was over-sensationalized Dismissing their death in one breath and their life in the next, "There are only two genders" and "we don't want that filth here"

There is no center to this poem But the outline remains Oklahoma leads the nation in proposed anti-trans legislation At 60 bills introduced this year

There is no center to this poem Trans youth today are caught in a storm And there are so few ports How can I be one of them?

Remember that one Pete Wentz poem in From Under The Cork Tree? Me too.

From day one I talked about getting out But not forgetting about How my worst fears are letting out He said why put a new address On the same old loneliness When breathing just passes the time Until we all just get old and die Now talking's just a waste of breath And living's just a waste of death And why put a new address On the same old loneliness And this is you and me And me and you Until we've got NOTHING LEFT

Lost.

I’ve lost her,

My safe harbor in the storm,

Whose gentle tides erased the years,

The memories that came before.

She has wandered away to far-off lands

Away from my friendly shores.

I am gone with the riptide,

To the dark depths,

With no boat to keep me afloat,

No chest of treasures to hold my secrets,

No sand to wear away the harsh edges.

The abyss where no one understands,

Where no one dares visit

Its warm embrace of despair. 

I’ve lost them,

The sunrise, the sunset,

The blue sky in between,

The twinkling stars once hidden

By cruel city lights. 

There is no one to tell me.

No one to be told.

No one to hold

The galaxy of my every thought,

The joys and the sorrows,

The mundane. 

I am left in the vacuum.

So much mass,

So much space,

And it is crushing inward. 

The gravity,

The black hole of being trapped

In the prison I thought I had escaped.

The endless echo of the cave

In the space without sound. 

The watery chasm grows deeper,

Straight through the earth,

Out the other side.

Into the dark sky

To the center of it all.

The force that began.

Where all was created

In its imperfection and error.

That silent bang,

Screaming just as loud as I am,

With no one to hear.

[mythicbard1]

coarse and soft

a beating heart

pulled too far

and ripped apart

tired bones

and weary limbs

they bled not red

those silent whips

cloudy eyes

with misty cheeks

a sulking mind knows

not what it seeks

A snivel, a cry

I know not why

deep lust for sky

will i ever fly

Hands wander.

I often wonder if my chaotic thoughts will bleed into my response time.

Heart palpitations increase.

What if your body rejected mine.

Mind begins to race.

I always seem to find myself here. Alone in a coupled embrace.

What if I let my gaurd down.

Locked in a stare that could end all senses and the meaning of time.

Breath quickens.

Urgency has left me vacant and withdrawn.

This is the place where I most often find you somewhere between what is and what could be.

I could give you the shirt off my back

With my heart up wrapped inside

Because I don’t know how

To take it off my sleeve

I hope it keeps you warm

Because to be honest

My world couldn’t get any colder

Just don’t break my heart

I broke it once before

And it seemed like forever before it healed

Sometimes it feels

As though I need to protect it

But I realized I only hurt those close to me

Because defenses were too high

So here I am again

With my defenses lowered

Giving the shirt of my back

With my heart wrapped up in the sleeve

feels like nothing feels like pain

when it's sunny i miss the rain

smoke another cigarette

please remind me to forget

my keys, my mug, my age, my name

i just want things to stay the same

Permanent

I am never permanent.

They always say we'll be forever.

But when my jokes are exhausted and my tricks get old.

I'm reminded that forever means nothing
