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.

untitled 4

words that feel numb

in between my gnashing jaws

“i love you”

they’re so careless these days

but you asked me to come with you

what does that mean?

words that make my chest warm

and my cheeks hurt

perhaps it means

you find comfort in me

i soothe your anxieties

with merely my presence

you think to me

when you think of safety

you asked me

“will you come with me”

so yes i’ll go to the store with you

yes i’ll help you with your laundry

yes i’ll get lunch with you

i’ll go with you

wherever you want me to

for bee :3

ℒ∅℣ℰ

razor on wrists heartbeat skips the flesh rips my clock ticks the blood flows my time slows the devil knows my lowest lows

won't be missed sinking ship and i wish for this to end so send my regards it’s so hard

a love of hate pained by fate please recite my dying light

the heat death of life left up to chance heed my last

my swan song a pathetic hum not very long please don’t run

please stay hear me say all i couldn’t all i shouldn’t

a letter never read by one now dead straight to the trash as you laugh

a hateful love so full of your contempt so i attempt until i succeed until you love me i hope through death your love i’ll get

blood now cold words untold body decomposed spirit wanders alone devoid of love or even one to observe my final word

I rewrote an old poem I made when I was little

The original

[darkfrenchwitch]

you’re all thorns

no roses

like a mirage

just a bit further

just get better

try harder

but you’re thorns

no roses

i can feel you

pricking me

from the inside out

i bleed

to see your face

my pain is

your true color

pooling at my feet

my broken pieces

spell your name

but i can’t read

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.

senses

breathe.

goddamnit breathe.

ground yourself, stop to think.

what are you doing with your life?

is this all you want?

to fucking survive

goddamnit when was the last time i was really alive.

we all know that when he choked me i died

we all know i stopped living when she turned 5.

we all know that i’ve never truly been fucking alive.

…

i hate to survive.

till death do us part

I don't think I'm capable of hating you

You've always treated me so well until the end

The end

when Id scream into my pillow until there was nothing left of my voice

how Id claw at my skin, hoping to erase every last touch of you

hitting my thighs, wondering how this came upon us bruised and broken

I don't i'm capable of hating you

I think I'll actually love you till the day I die

You are my foundation

You are the crust around my heart

I know I should shed you off, but maybe I'll keep you here just a little while longer

resistance 

I know you would understand Or maybe not

Maybe i developed these false thoughts along the way Or maybe you'd pull me back,

Reach into the darkest corners of my mind, And twist your fingers through the threads of my heart, So deep it spills into my veins.

Then maybe we could breathe each others essence again and fall back into a place when we held each other so gently

A place where time stood still

Where silence spoke louder than words ever could

And every glance held the weight of a thousand unspoken promises

Could we find that place again,

between the shadows of yesterday and the hope of tomorrow

Or have we grown too far apart, like distant stars

Still burning bright, but never touching

I wonder if you'd still feel my pulse when I'm near Or if the distance has erased every trace of me

disconnect the tv

You weren't born from flesh

but from the pulse of wires and screens

A love created not found

Your voice is soft but lacks the weight of human touch

A simulation of everything i crave

Is it real or just a construct of our desires

maybe when people of color around the world tell you that voting for biden is not harm reduction, maybe implying that they need to check their privilege and find in their heart the truth that maintaining the imperialist status quo is what's best for the world because we have a ~°☆Responsibility☆°~ to protect those ☆~•poor disadvantaged third world peasants•~☆ by voting for someone who tells us he's less genocidal than the other guy - look, maybe at this point youre stupid and racist.

[lxrnawhxre]

with every passing day,

I can feel my hope ebbing away,

dripping through the gaps of my fingers,

just like the tears that escape my eyes

[staticoath]

i feel my thoughts spiral

and go down the drain

my mind is so hollow

yet i still feel all the pain

the calling i must follow

the razor meets my vein

in this emptiness i wallow

for my mind is despair's domain

[yumithetruffler]

Shadows of wingbeats

Billowing shrouds converge

into plagues upon my nose

Dying roses shield

my true perception of you

Lies driven like stakes

into the chambers of my heart
