The Giver of Names
A poem about feeling
The wind whispered secretively,
“Be afraid…”
And you whispered back “I will”
And this truth was locked away.
The fire roared seductively,
“Let me rage.”
And you roared back “I’m afraid”
And this truth grew stronger.
The rain asked quietly,
“Why not let go?”
And you whimpered, “I have not the strength.”
And this truth devoured.
The earth suggested subtly,
“Give your fear to me”
And you cried, “I am not ready.”
And this truth spread.
Finally you wondered,
“What if I let go?”
And the mirror replied “I wonder.”
And this truth planted.
The wind whispered secretively,
“Be Afraid.”
But you whispered back “I believe.”
And this truth blossomed.
The fire roared seductively,
”Let me rage”
But you roared back “Let’s dance together.”
And this truth ignited.
The rain asked quietly,
“Why not let go?”
But you smiled, “I have dreamt it”
And this truth shattered.
The earth suggested subtly,
“Give your fear to me.”
But you laughed, “Let us name it together.”
And this truth set you free.

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.
