Longing to be younger
Catching fireflies
In my palms
Catching snowflakes
On my tongue
Throwing wishes
To the sky
On the wings
Of dandelions
Dreaming
With my head
In the clouds
Begging to stay

You won't, You can't
"What do you want to do when you grow up"
"I want to change the world"
"Ok but what are you going to do?"
"Change the world"
"You can't"
"I can"
"You won't"
"I will"

My Mirror
I have a big mirror in my room
It stretches the length of me
Showing everything
Every morning I stand
Right in front of it
I see all my flaws
I see everything
That isn't perfect

in the moments before leaving for school. lots of adults

Girlhood is texting your crush because it's late at night and you don't know any better.
Girlhood is staring way too hard at the prettiest girl in class.

I am in 7th grade.
I like school. Most of the time.
I am quite good at school.
I'm in all the advanced classes offered. 3 years ahead in Math, 3 years ahead in my English vocab, and on the hardest History track.

I’m sorry
I’m sorry that I wasn’t the rings to your Saturn,
because Saturn had cracked into two;
I’m sorry that I slipped salt into your sugar,
yet your sugar was bitter, I cried too.
I’m sorry that you never learned to care,

My Coming Out Story
Growing up when I was younger, I was raised in a very homophobic, transphobic family. I was taught that being anywhere on the LGBTQ spectrum was evil and would send you to hell.
