I am a member of a forsaken community
and I refuse to believe that
we have a safe place in this world
I realize this may be a shock, but
our experiences are uniquely valid
is a fucking lie; and
only those who adhere to the binary deserve to live
So I will tell the next generation that
they have no power in this world
Bigots will know that
I appreciate what’s truly important
sticking to these patriarchal labels
is more essential than
Being authentic to myself
Once upon a time
We stepped outside without fear of rape or death
But that shit will not be true in my era
This is a binary society and all individuality will be erased
Ministers tell me
we must all be categorized by the length of our genitalia
I do not concede that
everyone will be free to express themselves
In the future
each one of us will be fossilised
and no longer will it be said that
we’re descendants of celestials and the divine
It will be evident that
we are grostique abominations
How the fuck could we presume that
There is hope for us to have a respected place in society
(now read from the bottom up.)
