Even in the midst
of the darkest storm,

I will remember,
blue sky
and warmth of the sun.

Lioness

Soft like a feather,
hard like steel,
shine like a star
in the starry sky.

I dispel darkness
and bring the light.
I don't regret
walking this path.

Night

I walk softly through the night,
not fearing darkness.

My light shines on my path,
guiding my steps.

Are you lonely? I see many people are. Scrolling through social media, I feel their loneliness. Showing the bright images, being like everyone else. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if we all dared to be ourselves.

Rain

It was raining when we met,
and I was afraid

Time has passed and fear has left,
but you stayed.

Dream

The world is busy all around,
but I stay calm...

I embrace my loneliness
and dream about the starry sky

Knowing that
I will meet you
one day

Calmness

I find calmness in the rain and wind
I don't need to hide...

They know how I feel
When you are by my side

Hope

Even if darkness surrounds me,
I will find courage...

To share my heart with you,
Hoping you will do the same.

If we don't see ourselves in the stories we read, we somehow don't exist.

Newborn star

Dare to shine your light
even if you are alone

It will not keep you warm
but it will give hope to others

Courage

I believed that you wouldn't care,
and out of fear, I stayed silent.

Now my eyes shine brightly
Under the starry summer nights.

I wish I could live in the middle of nowhere with no people around and never need to wear shoes again.

I write about friendship and love. Some people have named them LGBTQ books, but I prefer to say they are stories about people.

The magic of the starry sky in the summer night, the feeling of wet grass under my feet, the smell of the forest after the rain. I wish the world would be simpler and people would have time to appreciate things like this

I cannot be alone in this feeling. Even if darkness surrounds me, I will shine like the star in the night sky and find my comfort in the sight of other stars doing the same.
May 8, 2024 at 8:14 AM
I wish that people would be open to this kind of true connection, where two hearts meet and even for a moment disperse the loneliness that you feel when you gaze at the starry sky on a summer night.

It’s confusing, I find, to be around people. I see the peoples’ smiles on their faces and feel their loneliness in their hearts. I... don’t know what to believe. Should I go with their smiles, or care for their loneliness they don’t want to show? I tend to stay away, it makes me too confused.

I am Mara, an autistic and queer writer, and my pronouns are They/them. Since I remember, I have loved to make stories, build fantastic worlds, and spend most of my time there. I never saw myself represented in any of the books I read, and it made me wonder if there is something wrong with me.
