I put my heart on a pixel post-it,
sent it off surfing the web,
and, though you wanted to watch me crash-and-burn,
I’m gonna stand tall instead.

Because I know you’re cheering my downfall,
I know you want me to cry
but the smallest of choices can unleash those voices
that bigots would rather make quiet.

#WritingPrompt: reward my joy as much as my pain from the lovely Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她):
