By Martine Mussies
to my younger self
Embrace love’s vast hues,
Don’t fret over fixed boxes,
Be you, all is well.
to my current self
Bi pride blooms in hearts,
Online, offline, joys unite,
Communities thrive.
to my future self
Hope paints the world kind,
Bi acceptance, no erasure,
Love and tolerance reign.
