What remains of a soul when its voice is stripped away?
My skin swaddled me in sinful silence
while your chains choked away any true choice.
You opposed and oppressed my opinions,
then violated and vetoed my voice.
My words judged abusive and abysmal,
unless meek and mutilated like yours.
Cultural cancellation controlled me;
silenced by an echo chamber of censors.
—H, still speaking, even in the silence
A piercing free verse poem about surviving the suffocation of heterosexist expectation. Raised as an abomination, silenced by force, this voice now breaks the air with truth and fury.

You wore my mask and whispered my pain as yours. But I knew. Even behind your smile, I smelled the rot of erasure. Your queer was my gag—But I sang anyway. I flew anyway. I remained whole.
