i don’t see

why this must end,

why the rainbows

and the flags

have disappeared

because they shouldn’t

have.

june ended

but pride didn’t.

we are not

invisible

for 11 months

out of 12.

so why did it stop?

someone tell me,

obviously

it isn’t this month,

it’s disability

pride month,

but that doesn’t mean

we can’t get

a bit of

acknowledgement

shouldn’t we

be free to celebrate

ourselves

without a designated month?
