We are the colors of the rainbow, Only because they represent us. But sometimes we feel like the colors black, grey, and white, We use these three colors to hide ourselves away from all of the hate! Only because they seem to go with any and everything without an explanation.
But every single day we hear things, About us being gay. We get called ugly, ***, *****, ****, phony, ****, queer or ******. Just for labeling ourselves gay, bisexual, lesbian, pansexual or transexual. Take the time to learn our story, Before assuming you know us based off our looks and actions. We could’ve been *****, “born” this way, or it became a choice of our own. Here we are just trying to love who we are and want to be, But can’t seem to do so because of people like you! We still manage to keep a smile on our faces and our heads held high, Just waiting for the day to feel equal and wanted. In this messed up world. Instead of having to look over our shoulders every second of the day, Hoping and praying to make it to another day without being the next VICTIM!
So as we ask please... “Accept Me For Who I Am”
This is a poem I did in class for a social justice project
