I am alive

I have survived

What the Earth

Has thrown at me

I exist

I can fight

Even with all

That ails me

I am gay

And that’s okay

I have blue hair

That’s quite out there

I have scars

From myself

My battles

And trials

I am here

Fighting and living

Continuing this journey

This battle

I am here

Kicking and screaming

Tearing my way

Out of this pit

I have my ups

And my downs

But I continue climbing

And soon I will be out

I am here

Wherever that is

I can help you

And everyone near

I am here

Most importantly

I have survived

Not without wounds

Or scars

But I survived

And can tell my story

Does it matter

Anything else

As long as I

Am here?
