TOMORROW TEN YEARS

I thought I was the last
to fall...

I was not loved
by my mother at all...

The knife was taken
so a mirror was shattered...

Glass in my wrist
as my blood was spattered...

So much blood
for my surrender...

One slit would do
but I'm a spender...

And after that morning
of blood and of tears...

I knew that mother
would never love queers...

And that knowledge freed me
to follow the stars...

Walking through life;
still proud of my scars.
