“Dear Society” (a new poem by Jymi Cliche’)

what do i have except a mission

that won’t come to fruition

til i’m put in a position to be blissin’?

so listen here,

to all my fears

and open your ears to the beat.

i’ve seen defeat beneath my feet.

i’m the concrete that defeats your deceit.

you can flee or be on fleek

but you’ll never know what it’s like to leak heat…

to be seated at the throne of hell

and thrown on the ward North Bel,

and broken

catatonic, catatonic

drink your tonic and your gin

it’s all a sin

catatonic catatonic

you’re on that shit

so let’s begin again.

i am not gonna stop telling my story until you really fucking hear me…

hear ye here ye,

we have glee of gold

while the universe unfolds our souls.

i’m just another non-binary trans man

feeling undersold while getting old.

so put your hate on hold

and tell me the story of you.

was it true blue or made of the blues?

could i walk a mile in your shoes?

do you know why fools fall in love?

will i ever be free?

the last question is a priority to me.

or is it?

who could throw a fit better than me?

if you wanna go far and travel to the next star

and not have the limitation of cars,

then be truly bizarre!

take out your inner freak

and let them speak.

the beak is back

and it’s under attack

but my shit is only wack

when your shit lacks.

so how about that?
