Watty's 2019 Poetry Winner An LGBTQ+ Poetry Collection, about the good, the bad, and the sad of coming out, dating, and existing as a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I started so small With nothing to say for me at all Just a bird in a world of birds Just a being who has not much to show for themselves I worked hard though Even when everyone else cast me out Threw me out I stayed strong I battled the forces of nature As they came my way I kept going And learned to fly I flew above everyone else And saw what I had become With my wings outstretched I saw who I am; A mockingbird ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Dedicated to Keefe, who supported me when I found myself lost in the midst of my identity~

Conan Hill is a trans male looking to escape his haunting past. He wants nothing more than to keep his head down and remain unnoticed at his new school, though that is quite difficult when the captain of the track team seems to have fallen for him. ***** Life has been hard for Conan. In hopes of escaping past bullies and finding a fresh start where no one knows who he used to be, his family decides to move from Texas to Massachusetts. He makes a promise to himself that he will survive high school by going unnoticed and avoiding any conflict that might reveal his former identity. But this ends up being more difficult than expected when the school's golden boy and popular jock, Owen Wilson, takes up a keen interest in him. Could this be the beginning of something beautiful for Conan, or just another chapter of his life that he would have to run away from? Content/trigger warning: This story contains themes of bullying, transphobia, homophobia, abuse, and suicidal thoughts, as well as sexual activity.

In a city where love is forbidden and silence is survival, Han sings only when the world is asleep. By day, he ladles soup in a nameless restaurant-his hands marked not by scars, but by unwritten letters and unsaid goodbyes. By night, he writes. Not to be heard, but to remember. Then Jae-hwan appears-a man with eyes like a stanza held too long. A soldier. A stranger. A quiet revolution. Their lives begin to fold into each other-through shared glances, almost-touches, and the aching gravity of what can never be spoken aloud. In a world where names vanish and love is punished, every silence becomes a sacrifice. Told through letters never meant to be read, Letters to My Beloved is a quiet requiem for the love that history tried to erase- a story of longing that lingers like perfume in an empty room, of devotion that survives in shadows, and of hearts that speak, even when their voices can't.
