Deep in the dark dungeon sat a little girl all quiet. Locked up by the janitor, she hadn’t seen the world in a while. She wondered sometimes how it would be - to be him to be free. But the world was far away and she was silent.

The janitor, a grumpy man, had no interest of the world. All he did was to keep his prisoner locked away.
He wondered sometimes how it would be - to be her to be she. But he was glad he was not the one in the dungeon.

As the time passed, they started to talk. Look each other in the eye trough the door of metal coldness. And One day, only with the reach of hand they understood that they were the same.

And she was finally set free

Hello 👋

Hey. I'm Rich. (working on it) I just want to say hello to the family. I see you. I am here for you if needed. You are not alone. There are many like you, but not you. You are a unique gift in a world not yet ready to process at that level. It will be ok. You will find your way. But only you can take that journey into the light. Imagine the possibilities. 🥰🥰🥰-🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰-🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Shadows

The comfort and pain brought forth, from the shadows. The solace and safety, terrified of what lurks, beyond the shadows. From within we watch, not daring to leave, this prison of shadows. Time well past, shadows grow dark, the light ever fading before me. As the shadows consume, and feed, I charish their cold embrace. For though the shadows slowly kill, beyond their safety true danger waits. Like a poison to grant just one more day, a betrayal of self, to be. To feed this darknes in hope of light. The futile pursuit of ones greatest plite. To sacrifice all, for just a taste. Of what could be. In the light. So we gather our forces and we charge head long. Out of the shadows to our luminous home. And as we reach the crest of dawn, The general has laid waste, all forces gone. And so I retreat hard lessons learned. In the shadows I belong and for the light I will eternally yern. For in the safety of the shadows, the familiar pain awaits me with loving arms.

PROTECT TRANS YOUTH (CW: transphobia, legalization thereof)

how can you chant "eradicate" and "protect" in the same speach?

it is one or the other i cannot exist in between

either you run me down or shelter me under

your Heavenly Father's Wing

why are our voices taken one by one?

you want to erase us off your slate like a misspelled word

but we will not stand for it

you say "protect youth, eradicate trans"

but we say

PROTECT TRANS YOUTH

the violence against trans people was not dealt with.

this is our consequence.

legalization.

PROTECT TRANS YOUTH

there are over 400 bills across our nation seeking to remove us from the public consiousness

to remove us from the public consience.

PROTECT TRANS YOUTH

do you really think we are an end point?

the people who are supposed to ENABLE our freedoms

these are the people who seek to destroy them.

PROTECT TRANS YOUTH

return after this short message for the further oppression of

women, queer people

people of color, disabled people

the working class, and everyone else

PROTECT TRANS YOUTH
