Where is my flag?

Where is my flag?



I have more things in common

with Frida Kahlo

than you can actually see


we both have a disability

we both like women

we both suffer from

invisibility


She was Mexican, I'm brazilian

She was an artist,

I am too

Even though a poet is not always

seen as an artist

which is just a big lie,

a really mean one


She loved a man who she could

not change, trust or agree with

I love a woman that is perfect for me

We just happen to have our periods

at the same time space

which is almost the same thing


Me and Frida would have lots to talk about

you see

We are both artists, disabled and queers

We both love long colourful skirts

We both know how it feels to

live with pain and limitations

to live in a way that no one is

very interested

to see


Where is my flag, I wonder?

Where is my disability representation at?

I don't see any, not even after

spending my entire day on Google images

trying to believe


Frida existed as a bissexual disabled woman

Way before me

And here I am standing for both of us

after what... seventy years?
