Every year after I realized I’maroace (3 years ago) I’ve written an aspec poem inspired by a Christmas song for the start of December and this is this year’s poem! I was inspired by the song “My grown up Christmas List”. The photo has nothing more to do with this than it’s a photo of my cat when I decorated my house for December this week.
Do you remember me I sat upon your knee I wrote to you with all my wishes, dreams & fantasies I had a vision of how my future was going to be
Well I’m all grown up now I’m the same but now I know It’s not me who needs to change Instead, trying to renew my perspective on everything
I’m aroace and yeah it can be hard to accept sometimes But my heart still can dream For both myself and others in need Here is my aspec Christmas list!
For all aspecs to know and learn: You’re not broken but good as you are! You’re valid and there’s nothing wrong with you
For aspecs to be less invisible For aros to not be forgotten anymore For more diverse representation
No more fear of loneliness Everyone would have a QPR or one or plenty of friends
Ace & aro community to be seen and recognized over the world Everyone would have the right to be who they truly are inside
There doesn’t need to be something wrapped under the tree The greatest gift of all is when we validate each other’s humanity
I’m all grown up now I’m the same but now I know It’s not me who needs to change Instead, trying to renew my perspective on everything
I’m aroace and yeah it can be hard to accept sometimes But my heart still can dream For both myself and others in need Here is my aspec Christmas list!
