Sidewise
Interesting
It’s all I’ve wanted to be
I wear it like a cloak of
Invisibility
I look at you
And maybe you won’t beat me
If we can talk about what
You like to seek
Growing up I’ve learned
It doesn’t matter what I
Know or have been when
You only see a freak
Resent Mint
I’m making a potion
I’m putting all the
disgusting things
I can find in it
I’m making a potion
It is made of poison
and one sip and
death will be painful
I’m making a potion
and I’m going to
give it to the jealous
imp that lives in me
Stolid Stated Trans
Silently
Saying
Thanks
Karma Cuttlefish
Rumors and punching
people in the face
My memories of
living in the south
Drinking too much
and being afraid
A makeup smear
of red on my mouth
Maybe I died could
that be the case?
We all go on living
until every debt is paid
The Flower And The Slime
Wandering by the creek
The hen and chick tells me
Nature is all there is
Life is alive
But that is the horror
Fear of the unknown
Squirming and large
Spinning and small
Beautiful, ugly, and all
That exists until it is
turned to dust
See Who You Are
You are mean
So why pretend
You are mean
It’s the message you send
Phony politics
To hide the fact you’re mean
Phony politics
Can’t hide the fact you’re mean
I get it
Life has made you tough
I get it
Softness isn’t enough
But you are mean
It makes me want to hide
Please just try
Half Woman Barely Human
How am I fraud
If I can accomplish my goals
If I can perform and juggle
Why am I invalid
If I care about others
If I help them like a counselor
Why am I not seen
When I’m bullied and harassed
And written off by others
As if I were a fraud
Charmers Luck
Inward we go
Our dreams all so loud
Tell us to worry or not to worry
Maybe we’ll listen
To those without a map
The mind is a terrifying world
The world we exist in is wondrous
Filled with maleficent detours
Truly believe in yourself
You can find the way through
Staying In
I once lived in a trench,
but now I live in a castle
It is protected by a giant bear,
a lion, and a lioness
In my domain, there are
no enemies, but two queens
We rule nothing, so we have
nothing to fear
We delight in games
as we further our studies
