“COLOURS IN THE MIRROR
One day my pride will outlive myself and whatever remains of its colours will be remembered by others - for I was always my true self.
I live too little for things that make me dream & care too much for fears that sleep in between the fine lines of my weary mind - so write me gentle words, for it may break.
My diversity should not be a mistake but a celebration of identity & guiding light to others who ache to leave the numbness of »pretending-to-be«.
We are not broken mirrors that hurt the world by showing our true reflection;
we are merely hearts used to rejection - yet, their words will only blur but not break our shine.”

“BLOOMING SCARS
Those flowers dance around vour marble bust like they were fearing October's kiss - gently they laugh and fall asleep on vour stone veins and cold lips.
For they love their names written upon your chest in
gold
for your heart may be broken, yet it is searching for something untold.
They do not know that silver mends the scars that the years formed and the cracks on your skin the sun caused -
so silent, still, and weary are the blossoms with whom my love for you is betrothed.”
