Tia Hospedales Poems

My heart beats for you since the age of two
Even then I knew that I would love you forever
But as we grew up the world told us we cannot be
So I buried the love I had for you at the age ten times one
...

Love is not real
That's what you said
Those were the words echoed in my head
The day I was no longer alive but dead
...

Hi my name is Tianna and I like girls
I say those words like
I'm trying to make the world believe I matter
Like im trying to prove something
...

In this prison I stand still
Waiting for the prison guards to let me in
As the gates open and I walk in looking at the barbed wires spread across the windowsill
I can hear the echoes of the dreams that died here
...

I wish I had more time to tell you the truth about me
I wish I had more time to tell you I'm sorry
More time to tell you don't go
To tell you I lied
...
