Asexuality

In a community of acceptance,

there is a lack of understanding

for the A

in LGBTQIA. 

It’s easier to point fingers

than interlock fingers

or tap fingers to chins,

thinking,

trying to understand.

There’s a gap in understanding,

waiting for the building blocks of love

to build a bridge.

We’re offering a hand

with contacts in it,

so others can see

what our world is like.

Feel free to ask questions.

Please ask questions

because the start of the alphabet

deserves to see an end

to discrimination.

  • Plan to Dream

    With my one and only life,

    I plan to think and dream,

    no matter if my ideas are rife,

    no matter how extreme.

    I’ll climb the highest mountain,

    figurative or real.

    My dreams, I‘ll keep on countin’,

  • Even When

    If I can walk through the rain,

    I can run in the sun,

    even when it feels like the downpour

    will never stop.

    Because even if it doesn’t for a long time,

    umbrellas will be offered

    from hands I love to hold
