Trans lives matter
despite what they say
going back into the closet can’t be the only way
I loathe darkness now that I know light
my friends huddle in fear
my family mark their calendars
a man anointed to serve my country
nazi salutes a want to be dictator
a friend said that might end their life
living might not be worth the pain
I don’t blame them
strangers argue online
I curl on my couch
while kale wilts in my fridge
I will keep living
if only out of curiosity
I want to see how my world ends
Tell me, will curiosity put me in a concertation camp?
