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. 🥰🥰🥰-🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰-🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
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.

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
