“They are probably right behind us, Petra, all we need to do is just open our eyes!”

the tears spill
as my anger
rages out
a hidden despair
long held in
breaks through
a suffering
uttered in release
a necessity
the burden
of disguise
extinguished
Mother Mary’s shamed
these days painted rainbow bright
love is love proclaimed
supporting gay rights
rainbow colors, showing pride
being an ally
*big fan of my tattoo provider too! :)
