Australia Hi everyone. My name is Alex Potter and I come from Australia. I really enjoy writing poetry and some fanfiction. I am obsessed with books in general, but mainly Harry Potter and Simon vs the Homo Sapien's Agenda. Not all my poetry is good, but it is a hobby, so don't judge.
I saw the news of that night, I saw the people cower in fright, I felt their love fall to the ground, I knew the fear would spread around, Down in the place called Orlando The outed, the loved, the brave, The ones in closets, dark like a cave, The lonely, the lovely, The ones like dogs stomping muddily, Down in dear old Orlando. No one had expected what came next, It was something like text, You read from a book, Now don't ever look, Down in Orlando. What was once a place, A very special space, Space for those different than him, He thought they were a sin, Now it's no more in Orlando. All they wanted was love, But their souls flew like a dove, No more of their musical, Wonderful, beautiful, Lives in Orlando. To all those, Who rose, To the next place, I give you good grace. I am sorry for all that's been done, I know sometimes life hasn't been fun, But you didn't deserve, To be served, The final, the last, Place. I'm sad that you passed, Into death.
