A Poem After Pride
In the quiet places
Between the ruckus and the celebration
You will find me
Silent
Invisible
Alone
I scream my truth
No one hears me
In the lively places
Between each page
You will find me
Empowered
Strong
Content
I write my truth
Maybe someone will hear me
In the hidden places
Between normal and psychotic
You will find me
Introverted
Off-beat
Female
Omnisexual
I post my truth
So someone will finally hear me
Between you and me
You will find a chasm
Massive
Growing
All-consuming
Frightening
I shout for you
Can you hear me?
In the quiet places
Between the ruckus and the celebration
You will find me
Longing
Wishing
Wondering
What is wrong with me?
I cry my truth
Will anyone hear me?
