I want to be me and I don’t know who they are Because to be told what to do and who to be I’ve never had the chance to meet them before.
Now I’m out and I’m not sure where I’ll go But the fact that I am means I’m free To find that out, to finally actually know.
And right now everything looks so new That I want to try it all See what I like, and what calls me too.
Then eventually I’ll have pieces, bits, and clues of what I am One day my name will only be Cass And the other will be in the past.

Avoidantly, I refrain From opening my mouth Fearing that you will hear My mother's heartache Etched into my words.
Anxiously, I hold my tongue Repressing my father's anger That of which poisons my blood.
Disorderly, My silence grows A bed of unspoken thoughts, Rooted in past sorrows, Watered by the tears of every generation before me.
Yet, in time, I learn to whisper To find my voice And declare that I am more Than the fears I have inherited. I abandon the screams Of my ancestors' pain, To break the cycle So that one day, My words will flow Not with heartache or anger, But with love and peace, instead.

(I don't know shit about writing or poetry but I'm sad and inspired so here goes nothing)
My parents don't know they hate me
They say they love me so much
But they don't know I disgust them
And it's starting to tear me apart
I have to keep myself hidden
Out of fear of how they'd react
And from this lie sprouts the division
Between who they love and who I am
I trust no one with this secret
For it could reach the wrong ears
Safety is a distant desire
Existing only in vague dreams
If only I knew what would happen
If I were to take off my mask
If you said to my face that you hate me
I'd hear the truth at last

Doodle for the adoption au snippet bc i CANNOT stop thinking about it
Giving you the biggest hug for this! This makes me smile so much <3<3<3
Yeah yeah yeah Deca is :) at all this. He has a son bot lad hes going to treat like a little doll. The outside world was so mean to this little guy... LOVE his expression in this. Love both their expressions <3 also love how your deca design is so floffy.
Meanwhile the Bard is just... tired. I've been thinking about ways for him to exhaust himself in fighting/yelling and oh my god your doodle of him makes him look so deflated. The floof and love and joy in his hair is gone 😔 braidless and thus stripped of his identity. Given a purpose he didn't want...

TW// Gender dysphoria
just a poem I wrote the other day while bored at my grandma's house
Aurora
Everyday he walks in the shade
Broad shoulders, deep voice
Loved, praised, brown eyes
Whole existence is a falsehood
An impossible to defy falsehood
He wants not the blue shell
But he is happy wearing it
But he thinks he is happy wearing it
The Star of Dawn
Eos, my shining light
Everyday she walks alongside him
Her light darkened by his shell
His loved, accepted shell
Let his shell break
Let her be free
For they are one and the same
For when the shade of him fades
Aurora remains

a poem about closeted transmasc butch cowboy blues
--------------
My lover dont know that Im a cowboy
Youd think wit my spurred boots n Southern drawl
Hed know by now
But all he sees
Is how I partic'pate in that Urban crawl
"Baby, I want a horse,
some smokes, n yer love packed in a bowl"
He uses all his softness
To lay me down
Drunkenly fuckin below the skys loud mouth
"My babys a cowboy!" He sings
I smile, "My babys a cowboy
but he lives in the city, dont he?"

The Wrath of a Lover
Do not fear the wrath of Heaven
Or of Hell
Fear the wrath
Of a lover
Who’s lost their other half

Just An Oddity: Another Poem About A Name
Me? I’m just an oddity,
Like the single flower amidst dusty road
That bloomed at a time it knew was right.
Just an oddity,
Like the butterfly drifting by chance into your room,
Its wings painting the moment a bright orange.
Just an oddity,
Like a necklace you bought on a trip somewhere,
A faded rhinestone of dreams and wanderlust.
Just an oddity,
Like being woken by a phone call from a friend
Once forgotten, with the same laugh in her voice.
Just an oddity,
Like the colour purple, that chromatic enigma,
Smirking at your eyes from where you least expect it.
Just an oddity,
Like a sudden, whirling desire to write, to draw,
To think, to love, in the middle of the night.
Just an oddity,
Like cosmic dust that wakes up
And thinks about itself.
Just an oddity,
Like a whole universe of everything
Expanding to life in a sea of nothing.
I’m just an Oddity,
You don’t have to notice me
But I would love it if you do.
I’m a wink from existence,
The observer and the spark in its eye.
Curious, is it not?

love is stored in the hoodies I let you wear when it’s cold outside.
In the way we always hold doors open for eachother.
In the playlists I make for us to listen to while we drive.
In the blankets we share when it hits November.
In the soft laugher when we joke about something stupid.
In the coffee you make for me in the early morning.
love is stored in gentle soft intentions.
love is stored in you and me.

oh god listening to a cis straight man analyze a very explicitly sexual gay and trans poem in the recording of this seminar hurts physically ‘but when they say cock instead of clit in this line isn’t that like misgendering of the sexual organ” Miss ma’am please stop talking right now

When I die
When my heart no longer beats
When my lungs stop drawing breath
When I no longer have a use
For the body I was cursed with
Offer it to nature
I could never love this body
Appreciate it how it should be
Maybe once I'm gone
A bird with find more use of my hair
Than I ever did
It was always to long
To feminine
Maybe the worms and bugs
Will find some joy
In the body I never loved
In the body that will never truly be mine
Maybe a spider will create a web
A home between the bones of my hand
The hands that I find far to small
Far to dainty to every be truly mine
Perhaps it will be a mouse
To find a home within
The bones of my chest
The chest I hated more than anything
Perhaps then
Once I have abandoned the body
The body that has cause me so much pain
So much strife
Perhaps once I'm done with it
Nature will enjoy it
Once I've left nothing but a husk
My body will receive the love
The love it always deserves
And the love I could never possibly give it

Transition (poem)
A possession of the body A body unfit For the ghost inside Who cannot leave
Perform an exorcism Though which one should be only guessed How does a ghost leave a body unfit? How can it leave without knowing to get out?
The body is heavy and hurts to live in Heart made heavier by weight upon the chest It has two hundred fifty reasons to be upset And the number only grows each and every night
But the face is as gorgeous and perfect as nature And change is always visceral and terrifying Maybe the ghost should wait in its body Keep the wretched body to love the gorgeous face
How should the face change if possessing someone else? Should the face be neglected for the sake of the body? Would the ghost love itself if the problem were reversed? If the sacrifice is self-love for self-love, is it worth it to change?

Rip out this skin
And let bones fester
Your Nerves exposed
Cleansed in clear air
Excavate this heart of thine
See how it pumps
So fruitless
So void

It’s past my own, and getting close to yours. I’ve just remembered this, and it hurt me to realize.
I saw your note again and saw that it said ‘friend.’ I know at the time it was for secrets and safety, but I can’t help but wonder.
I never thought I would be the villain in anyone’s story but my own. But now I’m scared that I’ve been yours. Maybe I should just disappear.
I don’t know how I’ll make it another year. I didn’t even make it a few months before ruining it all.
When our hearts are tied together, you cannot just cut the string and expect me not to fall. But I suppose I can’t try to hold onto the fraying ends either.
It’s always September. It’s always the beginning of autumn. Maybe that’s why they call it fall.
