My dad, a hero, kept his true self unseen,
A secret locked away, a stifled dream.
His spirit, a warrior, for freedom he bled,
Yet his own life, a path he couldn't tread.
He bore burdens heavy, a weight I can't know,
While I wear my heart free, where the world can see it glow.
Unafraid and open, my colors I display,
Proud and bright, for who I am, each and every day.
I carry the torch, his spirit by my side,
Living loud and open, in the light, not to hide.
For the man in the shadows, his courage I claim,
So even in passing, he too can find his flame.
The fight for freedom, a battle I won't deny,
For those silenced voices, so they too can fly.

The Great Uncoupling of 2229
“I realize there are still aspects of humanity that my kind cannot understand or appreciate….” The soft, airy voice resonating from the orb that trailed Teyhx through the hallway of her dorm pleaded with her to see reason. Though, ultimately, the decision was not hers anyways.
