Consequence
This will be my last post for a while. I started university again and have a lot going on so I’m going to take a (probably temporary) break from blogging. Thanks everyone for your support, even though I’ve been a bit inactive. I’m also resigning as a member of PWS, since I haven’t been contributing much lately. I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of it, though! Hope everyone’s year has been off to a good start.

My precious moment 2014 - members submission
“I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery—air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, ‘This is what it is to be happy.’”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar
Thank you for sharing your precious moment!

This poem is for all LGBTQ people who have been rejected by loved ones for who they are. This poem is for Leelah Alcorn, and all others who have taken or are contemplated taking their lives because the rejection and lack of support is overwhelming. This poem is for me. But most of all, it’s for the ones doing the rejecting. Who refuse to realize the pain they bring when they want someone to change who they are, who they have always been. For the people who have rejected their children, grandchildren, siblings, etc., I hope one day you realize the harm and damage you are doing, and that you will change.
Love
Love is holding a baby girl in your arms
and singing her lullabies
as she drifts into sleep
her head against your beating heart
Love is teaching a baby girl
how to walk
taking each step with her
and catching her
when she stumbles
Love is realizing
the beloved baby girl
that you held in your arms
with tears in your eyes
the day before you left
hasn’t changed
And that the baby girl
who in a second became
the shameful sinner
because of the heart and mind
she was born with
only wishes
that you could love her
the way you did
when you sung her lullabies.

“Tomorrow will be kinder
it’s true, I’ve seen it before
a brighter day
is coming my way
yes tomorrow will be kinder”
