I have been hurt,
I have seen hard times,
don't let my humility fool you,
Am an arrogant son of the lion king

I have seen love,
I have seen true friendship,
Don't let my virginity fool you,
I ran away before I got my first experience,

I have seen joy,
I have seen true happiness,
Don't let my sadness fool you,
Am the happiest Introvert in the world,

I have read books,
I have read truths in books,
Don't let my poems fool you,
They are all borrowed creativity,

I have survived this long,
Writing has been my only friendship,
And truth be told,
Without poetry, am just another mistake on a canvas of an artist waiting to be torned apart!

Happy World Poetry Day!
Happy World Poetry Day

•Oh! Let me be Gay,
•Just for today,
•Let me give into this feelings,
•Or die inside.

•With every passing moments,
•I yearn to grasp that feeling,
•Of stealing her Mans heart,
•And watch her suffer like i have.

•Let me be bold,
•Am a different mold,
•Let me step out of this isolation,
•And embrace the light.

•I sat at the corner,
•Staring at his vanity,
•He takes a sip,
•And wipes a tear.

•Scared, isolated and depressed,
•He's broken, just like i am,
•He's becoming An Addict,
•Just like i have.

•Our eyes met,
•And locked for eternity,
•We could hear each others silent sob,
•Deep down our wretched hearts.

•That's how we met,
•Its how we fell in love,
•Its how i knew a man,
•Who was more than #JustaMan.

•So let me be,
•Just for today.
•This is who i am, who I've always been.
•This is who I'll forever be.

So,

•Yes
•I
•Am
•Gay
#LGBT..... #Depression......#Healing.......#Love.

•Lights lit up the dim room, revealing our youthful bare skin,
•So, up I went, played a song and with a bow, 'can i have this dance'?
•We stood in silence, lost in each others eyes as Passengers Track weaved its magic,
•This were two Addicts pregnant with Love.

•Rays of sunset on the horizon, wakes me to her stare,
•I lay in bed, taking in the beauty of her eyes, she leans in and place a kiss,
•But in her eyes she wants more, this was sin, Yeah! A Sweet Sin,
•This was one moment we weren't selfish, we held onto this Gentle Sin.

•Love wrapped us in its cocoon,
•Waiting for the day we'll hatch from its womb,
•Yes, We Made Love, but not their kind of love,
We took advantage of our hearts and left the body intact.

•A lip in a lip,
•feet entwined,
•A hand in a hand,
•This was our love, our Neverland.

SO,

•Yes!
•We,
•Made,
#Love.
