a slippery silly exists
it burns in me
it churns in me
an upset tummy
in the brain
a grip
and a need
a need for the pain
a strange loop
is rounding
close closed clothes
a strangeness
abounding
no's nose knows
i'm in the centre
i'm on the edge
i am a shrub
that wants to be a hedge
no matter how far up
a ledge is a fucking ledge
i am alpha and omega
i have begun
and i will end
and now with
the winds
that i know
are coming
i wish not to break
but to bend
i am everything
i am nothing
i am the sun
i am the dirt
i am the laughter
i am the hurt
i am the tears and the pain
the fears and the rain
day after day
again and again
and that, may be it
the path, my way
because
i will
be everything that i have to be
to make it another day

Writing About Writing: The Rainbow Trap
The good thing about living in modern times is that LGBTQ representation in media is increasing. Not just in niche and Independant media, either, but also in mainstream media. Books, movies, TV shows, comics... they're finally catching on that LGBTQ+ people form a significant part of their audience, and deserve to see themselves on screen and in fiction, not just as victims in documentaries and true crime shows.
