I am standing still
And yet everything around me moves fast
I am breathing
But feel no air in my lungs
I am who I am
But wish I could change
But you can't see a rainbow
Without a little rain
Time ticks
And I just wish it would slow down
Freeze somehow
My life in a nutshell
My life, living hell
But I smile
But I live and I breathe
The same as all of you
But treated differently
Not by the color of my skin
Or my religion
But because of who I love
Judgement comes in all shapes and sizes
And yet people don't realize it
Hatred is among the worse
Love is soup for the soul
And it shouldn't matter who I love
We are all God's children in this world
We breathe the same air
Look up at the same sky
Make wishes on our birthdays
Think we can all fly
Until we try
And fail
But I get back up
Because that's all I can do
Wish and hope and pray
Just like you
I'm not different
I don't wear a sign saying
"Hello, I'm gay"
If you looked at me
Would you think we are both the same
Sometimes I cry
Sometimes I wish I could die
But I do not stop the fight
And it shouldn't matter who I love
I don't judge you for who you are
So don't take away my right to love
