Still here

One day the wall
Finally got too tall
While I was sleeping they
Built it higher
And said it's my fault

When you're drained
your moat gets shallow
The words walk across and overshadow
Everything I love, my defenses
Crumble to dust, yet I'm not afraid
Just exhausted

After seeing another day
Leave no mark,
Not a single spark
I fall unheard
It makes no difference
Bury me here and deny I existed

Yet in the silence of my grave
Faint yet clear
I think I hear
Somewhere someone
Is picking away at the stone

Steady blows that echo
Through my heart, hollowed out
Showing it how to beat again
And I remember why I
must be alive and loud again

Somewhere, just
Exhausted
You need to know
I'm queer
and I'm still here
You're not fighting this alone
