I See You- Part I

I see you, I hear you

But do you see me, hear me?

We are right here, right next to you

Quietly standing as your alter ego

We are right here, right next to you

Maybe your uncle or a friend

We are right here, right next to you

Sometimes flamboyant like a rainbow

We are right here, right next to you

Sometimes just breathing to survive

We are right here, right next to you.

But do you ever notice, do you ever see?

Author: Debs

Author Bio: Debbie loves movies, manga, kdramas, books, momos, chocolates and all the good things in life, not necessarily in that order. She has always enjoyed exploring alternate stories/retellings and in the same vein, the diversity of the spectrum available to each one of us when it comes to our sexuality.

AUthor Note: The poem leads to a dystopian set-up in part II, which inverts the expected norm of gender and sexuality dynamics and hopefully makes us question present day society.
