My poems and moments began asking, then insisting, that I maintain personal integrity and do the next right thing, for them. They knew, and still do, that this book must be; saying “you have a responsibility, to us.” Knowing that’s true, for any LGBTQs experiencing spiritual abuse, invisible mental health issues, and so much unseen beauty. All of this telling me YOU-HAVE-NO-CHOICE but to tell our stories with your writing.
