You Took Away My Voice

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.

Whispers from the Fire: More Poems that Burn with Truth…

Coming Out Call-Out

probably when I became menstrual

Adrenochrome

royalty wandered the dark swamps

Whispers from the Scars: More Poems of Survival and Strength…

Rescued Me

fear of abusive men soon decreased

In His Embrace, I Slowly Died

where your love left me exiled

Mental Agony

my body stood naked and exposed

Whispers of Emotion: More Lyric Poems to Feel…

Tears Bled

rested my tired head on stones of hate

Dreamed He Would Keep Me Safe

while held within his firm embrace

Heterovert

your slur—my ceaseless derogation
