Y’all better quiet down. I’ve been trying to get up here all day for your gay brothers and your gay sisters in jail….
Have you ever been beaten up and raped and jailed? Now think about it. They’ve been beaten up and raped…. The women have tried to fight for their sex changes or to become women…. they do not write women, they do not write men, they write ‘STAR’ because we’re trying to do something for them.
I have been to jail.
I have been raped.
And beaten.
Many times!
By men, heterosexual men that do not belong in the homosexual shelter.
But do you do anything for me?
No.
You tell me to go and hide my tail between my legs.
I will not put up with this shit.
I have been beaten.
I have had my nose broken.
I have been thrown in jail.
I have lost my job.
I have lost my apartment for gay liberation and you all treat me this way?
What the fuck’s wrong with you all?
Think about that!
I believe in the gay power.
I believe in us getting our rights,
or else I would not be out there fighting for our rights.
That’s all I wanted to say to you people,
come and see the people at Star House.
The people are trying to do something for all of us,
and not men and women that belong to a white middle class white club. And that’s what you all belong to!
REVOLUTION NOW!
Gimme a ‘G’!
Gimme an ‘A’!
Gimme a ‘Y’!
Gimme a ‘P’!
Gimme an ‘O’! Gimme a ‘W’!
Gimme an ‘E!
Gimme an ‘R’!
Gay power!
Louder!
GAY POWER!

Invisible Soul

Sinking deep into fields of green,
Hoping it carries me away,
Flowers pull moisture from the Earth,
I wish they'd steal memories from me,
Pedals floating in the air,
They teach me to fly,
I cover my mouth to keep my soul,
Steal memories from me,
Pedals floating in the air,
They teach me to fly,
I cover my mouth to keep my soul,
Steal memories from me,
What is real,
What color is my soul,
What is real,
I can't tell,
What is real,
What color is my soul,
Empty but not like outerspace,
Airless vacuum is too clear,
Inside is orange like the Earth,
Water flowing into the sea,
Salmon floating in the air,
They teach me to fly,
I cover my mouth to keep my soul,
Steal memories from me,
Memories floating in the air,
They teach me to fly,
I cover my mouth to keep my soul,
What is real,
What color is my soul,
What is real,
I can't tell,
What is real,
What color is my soul.

The soul takes a break from the body when the body is too heavy.

Leave me alone on the couch
Running away
From where we used to lay
Your skin and hair is everywhere
on the sheets
but I want your skin on me
I forget your face
Over and over
Pixelated grains
On a dusty screen
I forget your name
Over and over
It's not the same to me
It sounds different
Pressing my back against the wall
I still can't sleep
I don't even know you
Ignoring the messages on my phone
I still can't speak
You don't even know me
Walls reflect light
From the screen
And I can't even think
Distorted face looks like you
But you can't see me
There is no one home
Cause I'm not really here
I'm turning off the screen
Because I don't want to feel
