Challenge
This is a call for queer poetry, there's a serious shortage in this world, and I intend to put a dent in the shortage. The only rule is you can't use the word forbidden.
We’re Not Broken
We're
broken,
they tell us,
trapped in small minds.
So if they knew
that we once thought the same
(and that some of us still do),
weeping and begging and wanting
to just, for once, be normal, (like them),
they would laugh and laugh and begin hunting.
But we're the furthest things from broken;
it's those people who need some mending -
those who will not hesitate to
make our lives a living hell.
So please do not worry,
my little siblings;
we are perfect,
and we are
queer; so,
live.
