Liquid Sunshine
And she is
liquid sunshine,
drops of honey.
personality pouring out,
syrup thick
catching light
maybe she is light
her curves sending prism reflections
in a
perfect
arc
But I am not "she"
Sadly,
I will never be made of honey
and glitter
and melted marshmallows
I will never
f
l
o
w
like liquid sun
Instead
my words fall
over themselves
I strike
like a bolt of lightning
my temperament the
thunder
that follows
Sadly
I will never shine
like honey gold
Instead
I stumble
I s-s-stutter
I burst
and break
About this poem
A lot of people who've heard this poem think it's a love story. Its not. I wrote this while i was still figuring out the concept of gender and where i fit in the community. it was a situation that filled me with an immense level of self hate.
