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.

    How their caring eyes show they care

    Oh, how loved I feel

    My favorite people surround me

    Everyone chose to love me

    The clinking chain of the swing

    The sweet smell of summer

    Thundering sounds of someone throwing trash away in the distance

    The scratching sounds of my pencil

    The warm sun on my skin

    Airplane flying overhead
