How Do I Know?
A poem about the uncertainty when getting into a new relationship and coping with trauma of past relationships.
How do I know
That you will be here
When I lie awake at night
My eyes wide with fear
I can't hide from my demons
They know where I live
They have torn me to pieces
I have no soul left to give
My body is empty
It's just a shell that you hold
My heart has gone missing
My chest is hollow and cold
How do I know
That you will take the journey
No matter the price
And that you won’t hurt me
That you will
Retrieve what I have lost
Without a doubt
Despite the cost

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.
