The stain of your teardrops were all over the curtains ,for you waiting behind this windows never ended .
And when everything felt apart , I could see it in your eyes ; indeffrence .
They told you ,your life could drown under this flood,but have they seen the ongoing river on your eyes ?
But I knew myself I could never be you.
I would wipe my tears so no one could see them , i would close the door ,i was too afraid of the flood coming in .
And when you can be the free raindrop in the thunderstorm, I'll be that dried raindrop behind the window ,a stain that no one can clean .

Letter to our Queer & Trans Youth
Hey, you. I thought I’d start this letter by telling you a little about myself, just so you know who you’re dealing with. I’m an emotional dad, father to three amazing kids who we met through the foster care system, and whose presence in our lives has really transformed my sense of responsibility to the communities that surround us. The connections we’ve made with one another, with our extended families, and with the communities where we live and look for belonging have catapulted us into this whirlwind of emotional tumult which, while not easy by any stretch of the measure, has also been remarkably healing. I realize ours is really only a one-sided chosen family, since our kids didn’t get to choose to live here, but I’d like to think that they did choose to let us love them, which allowed them to grow to love us. And I think that’s where I want to go with this letter- to a place where you can find belonging and healing- even if the pathway there may be peppered with some emotional tumult.
