oh, how
the times have changed
where faces and names
cycle through letters and features
but the roles they play
remain the same
there is love, crawling
up my throat, being torn
from my very lips by admissions
and the faintest morsel of
reciprocation
and there is poetry, always
the slick, slimy poetry,
waxing and waning, but mostly
whining about love lost
and love never gained
and how pathetic an existence
a romantic must live
an edge of violence seeps
through my fingertips as
i claw through these emotions
ripping at them with well placed words
and nights well spent
grasping at straws
and, although i may have
earned my wings
and i may desire to be called adult
i realize that deep down,
in the pit of my heart
where these emotions reside
i am still so much a child
with hands that strain for
the faintest pitter-patter
or soft beat
of reflection, and i realize
oh, how the times have not changed

Gay
I am gay.
I'm not a disease, I'm not a problem
I'm not an affliction
I don't need treatment.
I don't need help
I'm not sick
I'm not confused
I'm not a sin.
I am gay.
I'm your daughter
Your sister
Your friend
Your co worker
Your classmate
Your acquaintance
A complete stranger
I am gay.
I need love, just like you
I need smiles
I need support
I need a hug
I need a friend
I need a family
I need acceptance
I need understanding
I need you
I am gay.
I know what love is
I know what pain is
I know what hate is
I know what life is
I am gay.
And I need you to love me
The same way you loved me before you knew
I am gay.

Selfish Suicide
"People who kill themselves are selfish."
Well, darling, let me tell you a story,
A story all too true.
A daughter who became a wife, a wife who became a mother.
A mother of three girls...
One just above the age of a toddler,
One at the age of twelve,
And one entering the life of a married adult.
Now, the youngest girl was watching television,
And the oldest at the neighbor's home.
The twelve year old daughter sat at a computer with her closest friend,
When something terrifying happened.
Her mother was in the kitchen, coughing.
The daughter, although unable to see her mother, only could imagine the situation.
The mother walked calmly p

Fuck You, Cancer
Kay didn't want it.
No, no, no, no, no.

She screwed the shiny leaflet up into a tight ball, not caring that the sharp edges dug into her palms, and threw it into the open fireplace, smugly watching the flames eat up her information. It was permanently ingrained now anyway.
She didn't want alopecia. To have to wrap her bald head in scarves and wigs that itched. She didn't want to vomit her stomach up every time she tried to keep some form of nourishment in it. She didn't want her red blood cells to die away so all she had energy for was to lie down and sob. She didn't want her skin to be so sore and fragile her legs would bleed freel
