Words
Tranny, manly and not a woman. Whore, slut and many more. Too tall, too thin words get under your skin. Chill out, calm down, it’s just a joke. Wrap the rope around my neck and choke. Are you laughing now, is it still funny? You’re words aren’t sweet like honey. They are awful, hurtful and vile. Stupid, ugly and weird; your words, my soul, do they defile. So think once, think twice and again thrice. When you speak, say what you mean and be precise. Be kind, loving and uplifting. And soon you will see all manners of shifting. From attitudes to words.

I am a novice poet that believes that the best poetry comes from your heart and emotions. I am a Norse Pagan who just so happens to be transgender and lesbian. I believe that the whole world is my muse and I get inspiration from everyone and everything that I come into contact with. Words are some of the most powerful things that we as humans posses and if used right; they can change the hearts of many. Art comes in many forms and poetry is one of them. So why not change the world with art, one word at a time?
