    About this ebook

    I'll Keep Me is a collection of poetry anthologies new and old. It contains poems from the previously published works Heart of Hearing and Being, collected together here for the first time.

    In this work, you'll find narratives of love and loss, of grief and strength, and most of all, of life. Part autobiography, part fiction, I'll Keep Me is an exploration of growing up.

      To The Baby Gay In Me, You Survive This

      Looking back is beautiful. As queer people, we especially deserve reflection. We exist in a world where we see queerness celebrated, but also demonised. Where who you love, how you identify, who you are at your core can be a death sentence. Our journ

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Heart of Hearing

      Dedication

      For my family and my best friend Tahleah – you complete me and shape my life into a beautiful piece of art, I wouldn’t be me without you guys. Especially my dad because you always try your best to help when we need it.

      Broken

      We are all a soldier with a broken soul

      But we don’t know

      Broken battered and bruised

      We get knocked down but we don’t know how to give up

      Let go

      So we get back up again

      We are losing the battle but in the end no matter where or what you are we will win the war

      The war against ourselves

      Mistaken

      The minute

      All mine

      But her attempt proved

      A dare

      A wish

      Now you’re melancholy

      Offer a poisoned tear

      A grand suspect to the kiss

      Blamed to fluster me

      Destroy

      Wait

      Shh

      Help

      I Sea I Love You

      Into the sea

      Into the deep

      Oh my sweet ocean won’t you love me

      Are you mine to keep?

      The Sand and the Sea

      The salty wind blows

      The sounds of the rushing waves

      They crawl up the shore

      Endless Possibilities

      Do you ever feel like a disconnected plug?

      Like everyone else gets it but you

      Like they’re playing a game but won’t let you join in

      So you play your own game and pretend to enjoy it but you don’t

      You wish you got it, understood it

      Wish you fit

      You wish you had someone that really understood you

      Enjoyed being with you as much as you enjoyed their company

      A real friend that never lied

      Never betrayed your friendship

      They would never laugh when you told them your secrets

      They’d find you funny and interesting

      You could say the perfect friend

      With them you could do anything

      You wouldn’t need a million friends

      A million objects of your desire

      A billion dollars

      Just them

      Could one person really make you feel that way?

      Are they out there right now searching for you?

      Or are they there but you just haven’t realised it yet?

      Life Itself

      I see the walking dead.

      They pretend they have a life,

      Pretend their life means something,

      Pretend they’re useful,

      Without them the world would stop revolving around the sun.

      Well that’s not true no matter how important they are now,

      No matter how painful it is or how much it hurts,

      How much you want them back,

      Life goes on.

      No matter if without them you want to give up

      To give in

      You can’t and you don’t know why

      Bully Me This, Bully Me That

      I lost my head

      Just for a second

      The wrong things were said

      I wish

      Oh I wish how I could take it back now

      Now it happened

      Now I know

      I was so foolish and I hurt somebody

      And that kind of hurt can never be taken back

      How stupid was that!

      I broke their soul and broke their body

      I guess it is time to pay the price

      The price of a life

      Immortal, Immoral

      Love will outlast everyone and everything

      But if we do not exist does that not mean
