Mr. Right
“So do you have a boyfriend yet?” my grandma blurted across the table. A question I dreaded at family functions. The one that so suddenly turns everyone’s attention to me. As always, I shyly said, “no,” with blazing red cheeks and my legs now shaking under the table. A slight look of disappointment took over her face. Maybe she knows- I thought to myself- but surely won’t ever say anything. Nonetheless, she told me I just “haven’t found the right man yet.” I smiled slightly and agreed because in a way she was correct. I hadn’t found “Mr. Right” yet. I never will. For my Mr. Right is actually Ms. Right. I can never tell them about her. I’m sure they would love her if we were in a “normal” relationship and not a “sinful” one. She is beautiful and kind. Someone they would die for one of my male cousins to bring home… but not me. So I must erase every trace of her from my being as I return “home.” But that is not my home. She is my home and they will never know. Because to them our love was inspired by the devil and rooted in sin. Our love is lost between the pages of the bible. In a religion where we are taught to love why is there so much hatred to those unlike them. But I am still so much like them. I still believe in the same God that they use to justify their hatred. I hope that he sees my love the same way I do. Because it is beautiful and radiant. It is a fire that will never die. I only wish I could share this with my family. But I never will.

therapy
therapy,
it's all i ever seem to need.
nothing without it,
only the misfit.

I wish
It was you I was dancing with
On my bedroom floor
Instead of depression
In a tango of tears

The one thing I had
Was myself.
But now it’s fully overtaken by you.
You stole my thoughts,
My body.
My innocence.
My choice.
You stole me.

when they ask me,
if im okay,
I stare off in space
just floating away.
drifting into nothingness,
losing any hope i had,
wishing i was gone forever,
missing nothing but home.
im lost,
and falling apart,
nowhere to be found,
if only i could restart.
i miss the before,
the innocent, september me,
cause i've lost myself,
not sure ill find me again.
im done.
its time to accept it all,
three cheers to me, the fuck up,
Im sorry ill go now
- sincerely, anonymous
