Creating Queer Change


This poem was created in a workshop for the Gay and Lesbian Task Force Creating Chane conference 2006 in Kansas City, MO.
It is a Sonnet.

Baby queers feel all alone
As they struggle to put feelings to words
They come to Creating Change and find a home
And pick up their spiritual swords.

Femme boys are made to feel vulnerable
Because their ways don't fit the norm
But with a body strong and a spirit humble
They stead fastly weather the storm.

Lipstick lesbians stuck in gender roles
American culture has their traps
But Queer is their heart and souls
And no one can rewrite our gender maps.

Life is a spritual ceremony
We each have our own testimony.
