How much pain
Must one endure
In a lifetime?
How many struggles
Must one go through?
Questioning
What the lesson is
That I must learn
Through all this strife
What is my purpose?
Why do I keep going?
Why do I fight
To stay alive
When times
I just want to have
That eternal sleep
To go to the next world
Whatever world
That is
Most times
I feel so alone
So desperately alone
Just wanting
That one person
To reach for
That understands
Without a word spoken
To hold me
And make the sorrow
The pain
Disappear
To feel
I belong
To have a purpose
To have a constant faith
That my soul
Is worthy of that love
To be given to me
Instead of
The hurt I keep receiving
From people who deceive
Who shut their feelings off
In a blink of an eye
Yet I still love
Miss
Care
When they truly
Don’t deserve it
I cannot stop
The feelings
The emotions
Yet I wonder
If
It is all encompassed
With him
Or if it is
That I want
What I thought was there
Now that I have had a taste
Of what could be
With that one soul
If that one
Does exist
Again
In my lifetime

Writing About Writing: The Rainbow Trap
The good thing about living in modern times is that LGBTQ representation in media is increasing. Not just in niche and Independant media, either, but also in mainstream media. Books, movies, TV shows, comics... they're finally catching on that LGBTQ+ people form a significant part of their audience, and deserve to see themselves on screen and in fiction, not just as victims in documentaries and true crime shows.
