Binary bonds compress my lungs dark gendered wires cutting through my essence
until my bones shatter and I am a thousand pieces crushed into pulp and juice by the quiet weight of assigned at birth of a singular avenue of escape One road with two directions The same turf
I am not man I am not woman
I am both and neither But I am not allowed to be
So instead I become
a stain a casualty a shadow swallowed whole by the insistent darkness
hushing my light crushing my light
I hold still, just to pull a breeze of hope into my lungs to keep from passing out I comply and do not struggle

Nice poem but quite dark! Try not to let yourself lapse into a morose state of mind. If you are moving in that direction then get busy on some kind of project and allow yourself to change that tape that is running in your head.

Its definitely more dark. How best to turn on the light than to realize you've been sitting in darkness and what you thought was a light wasn't at all. If this is where I'm at, how do I move away from it? I suppose first I have to acknowledge it. How to cut chains I were pretending were okay, weren't really chains?

If this is where I'm at, how do I move away from it? I suppose first I have to acknowledge it. How to cut chains I were pretending were okay, weren't really chains? Consider for now that you are Gulliver and that what you supposed were chains are just the tethers placed on you by the Lilliputians of life, after all when we envision ourselves in that light it becomes easier to realize that it isn't a permanent situation, eventually you should be able to see your way clear to morph into Pegasus breaking those bonds and soar with the eagles. For the time being as you mull over this little analogy get busy with a small incremental plan for how you will begin with baby steps, also get mentally and physically busy on some kind of home project to take your mind off continually replaying the negative stuff.

I really like this imagery. It's our reality and a positive image of self to keep focus on, don't ever think you are alone honey, we are all here together with you, like the saying goes there is nothing new under the sun, so what's ahead of you is do-able and you will survive in the process.
