EXCELLENT rhythm and rhyming scheme, and it's always impressive to see a clean line break on the word "but" imo. the fifth stanza got me tearing up and struggling to keep reading it aloud without my voice breaking, and five stanzas is SO clever i didn't even notice until i counted them out to reference the fifth. and your word choice is amazing, the math alliterations were so clever

P.S. - thank you to all new followers. velevtriot01010, stormer, and hylas are listed as among the most recent, but I appreciate all of you. As someone who started writing in a shed into the void, this makes me super happy. While my stated goal is to write to myself for my own catharsis, the audience is very vindicating; I love you all

I am just putting this out there for those of you generous enough to follow... I am bigender. I do not exclusively feel I am male or female, but the labels "non-binary" and "agender" don't seem to fit either. I have known this since I was 14, and went through a period of identifying as transfeminine. Unfortunately, hospital staff and others were so transphobic that I began to repress any trace of this..

As a Christian (although I draw from/respect many other faiths as well), it is difficult for me to express this. But, I feel phrases like "God makes no mistake," or "God made me male" are unfortunately reductionist. Yes, God made no mistakes when making me, but I truly believe he made me who I am - both male and female. I apologize for sharing such personal information, but I respect my audience.

tl;dr - my preferred pronouns are *any pronouns* but I am not shy about the fact that I am AMAB. I know I am "male" by the strictest definition, but also wish that people would recognize there is more depth than that.

The reason why I don't bring this up in normal conversations is, 1.) I don't believe the average person would understand and 2.) by living my lifestyle, I believe I am actively bending gender norms, and I think that's awesome. A man (or a woman) can have a ton of internal diversity and fluidity, and be more complex than a flat stereotype. And I think that's also valuable and awesome, and people will see that.

tl;dr - You can be a man or a woman, or both or neither I guess, and people may not explicitly acknowledge that. But it is no less valid. And what is unspoken, but tacitly understood, often has far more power than what is discussed

There weren't as many horses on HeySpace as I'd imagined.
