Let Me Join You, Fellow Bisexual {Poem}

Let me join you, for there is no comfort in walking alone.

Far behind is an alley made of stolen stones.

We built this path of our own and refused to pick a side,

But ridicule follows and strips us of our pride.

We are not gay or straight enough for either community.

The home we had has become an oppression pageantry.

Let me join you, for there is no support in fighting alone.

We weep and scream for the sooth to be known.

Call it panphobia but I am not afraid of all things,

Nor of their deception, though it may sting.

For the sake of the activists who paved this road,

We must march on and demand truth be told.

Let me join you, for there is no pressure in resisting alone.

Only in unity is this community able to grow.

Those at Stonewall did not submit to the police,

So we will not yield in the name of silencing peace.

Nor will we make war with those of us led astray,

For this road has too many bricks to all be carried away.

Let me join you, for there is no comfort in walking alone.

These well-traveled bricks will found a home,

So we never need be on our own.

— Riley Idalia Lord

Happy new year and all that good stuff! Sorry I’ve been a little absent lately, I’ve been in a weird place and having a hard time figuring things out. I have a new Pride art piece, hopefully, coming in the near future (๑>◡<๑)

I’m proud of all of you and remember to always be proud of yourself!!
