I was told the angel died

I was told the one I was cried

the day I begged to be free


they said "don't be you"


I was told the heavens fell

the darkness was where I'd dwell

the day I said 'I was free'


they said "don't  you see?"


I was told that I'd die

they said my family cried

the day I said I loved 'me'


"they said don't you dare being"


now they say comply

to the words that they try

so that our bodies cannot be free


"don't feel my 'grief'"










"don't feel our grief."


dedicated to the trans kids struggling in the US today: you are loved. you will be safe. you are the semi colon warriors.
