Sunlight
I met a boy once
who sighed and told me
he was not lovely
and it confused me
that she could not see
the sunlight shining through his scars.

I just woke
my mom up
at
five to one (
five minutes
to one
A.m. ) to tell
her she is
still young
and beautful
to me u
should try maybe
not as late
at night as I
did but
my Moms
calmest when
half awake
but still Moms are
important
even when
they are irritating
as heck but
their love is
most unconditional
No matter how far you go, or whatever kind
of success or failure meets you, or
whatever you do that seems noble or good or quite the opposite, people will
continue to try to kick you down.

You DON'T actually get to stand
beside someone and tell them whether or not they’ve reached
a level of bravery. You DON'T actually get to determine
what does or does not make a person brave, or
lovely, or worthy, or
good.

Shadows
are beautiful.
They are a
temporary, intangible representation of a tangible, semi
permanent thing, dark yet reliant upon the presence of
light. They are darkness surrounded by light, black against
white, a reminder that sometimes your life is dark because
light is busy brightening another part of it. Yes, shadows
are beautiful.
My BFF Coming out to her 89 Year old
Grandmother
BFF:Grandmother I need to talk to you
Grandma:[concerned voice] What? What is it? Are you sick?
BFF:No, no. Grandma. I'm gay.
Grandma:What?
BFF:I'm gay Grandma. I have a girlfriend now.
Grandma:[relieved voice] Oh honey, is that all? I thought you had cancer. Anytime someone needs to tell me something they are sick. Who's your girlfriend, when is her birthday? I'll bake her a pie.
