you cracked my ribcage down its center
and breathed out stars and sky
to fill that rotting-space beneath:
i am pulling my body open piece by piece,
carving places for planets,
pulling gravity against my cheekbones as i
fall asleep;
(i'm hanging stars inside my eyes
so that when you look at me
i feel a little more like home,)
i come to you with the moon
tucked between my thighs:
you lap her light and go back
lovesick,
i drive away
coughing stardust in my palms,
the wide world stretching out before me
into night;
i believe that we have lived more than one life
in each other’s arms

He couldn't feel like a boy
And a girl
At the same time.
So he grew his hair long
With colorful dreadlocks
And wore eyeliner
But kept his name.

They told her that
She could either love boys
Or girls
Or both.
Not everyone.
So she fell in love
With the boy who
Was born as a girl.

He didn't feel love
For the girl with the large chest.
Or the boy with the sparkling eyes.
But that didn't mean
He didn't love them
In his own way.

And the boy with the long hair and eyeliner's way of loving is

Are You Gay, Bi or Straight?
DETERMINING SEXUAL IDENTITY
For many people, there is no question at all about what their Sexual Orientation and Identity are, starting at a very young age. But for many others, it can be very confusing and traumatic. ALL of us are a blend of Straight and Gay. People who are almost completely Straight or Gay usually know how they are different from very young ages. Everyone else will have some someone degree of Confusion and Questioning. Many young people have a small amount of latent homosexuality, enough to confuse them, but not enough to be a Bisexual. Others can be confused by having a friend they love dea

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.

Coming Out/Question about chest surgery
Hey, I'm Jess.
First of all, I came out to my dad today as Transmasculine. He was actually pretty cool about it. We'll see how he acts later.
Now, this may sound kinda weird, but I'm actually guilty for coming out to him. Well, not really for coming out to him, but for doing it to him before I did to my mom. My parents are divorced, and I have very different relationships with them. My dad and I don't really get along that well; we fight a lot, and just tend to clash quite often. On the other hand, I get on really well with my mom. We're really close, we talk all the time, and we hardly ever fight. I feel really bad for telling my

Same Sex Marriage is GAY.
Same Sex Marriage.
Objective: You will be engaged in an in-depth study of same sex marriages. This project will involve research and the result will be an argument presented in the form of a debate.
Viewpoint: AGAINST.
Arguments:
1. Homosexuality is not natural.
Much like eyeglasses, cesarean sections, birth control and painkillers are not natural.
2. The purpose of marriage is to procreate.
Therefore, sterile males, women that cannot bear children, the elderly, infirm, and infertile CANNOT be married.
3. Living with gay parents will adversely imp

when left to deal with language unspoken,
the intricacies of smiles,
the unclear line between malice and mirth.
It may have been the shot
given by the doctor
meant to protect but somehow doing harm,
and ignoring
the Hippocratic oath.
Or so say my parents, their organization,
so they may be exonerated.
They liken me to
Ted Bundy, H. H. Holmes,
and Einstein. Because a sometimes-flat
affect is
abnormal,
and it makes people uncomfortable.
Especially when it is not maintained.
At times I am too broken to understand

slave to the sanctuary
My mind is a sanctuary.
It's not the kind of sanctuary you would normally think of. It's not rainbows and butterflies and unicorns, there are no clear skies and green fields. It's more of an ocean made of oil; dark and heavy, pressing down on me. A cold blackness that makes every movement a struggle, every thought difficult. I've got to keep moving, though, I've got to keep thinking - it'll kill me if I don't.
I can feel things around me, in my sanctuary, I can feel them all the time. I'm not sure if they're people, or something else, but they're warm and blend with the darkness. They dance around my body, playing a game of cat and mouse, t
