#gays
Not many people understand, That I did not chose my sexuality. Many people think it’s a decision, But it’s not an who I was born to be. It’s a radiant act of self-blessing Something every artist must do sometimes, When no-one else will bless you. And it’s funny, good-nature, and startlingly strange. No my gayness is not a disease, I fall in love like any other, And I have goals in my life, To have a family, to be a mother. Its ‘gayness’ isn’t obvious, but it’s in the tone, the voice, the stance toward the world. No matter the pull toward brink. No matter the florid, deep sleep awaits. There is a time for everything. If you think what I feel is wrong, I guess you can think that way, I am proud of being gay.

Sorrow Is Not My Name
Acted like strangers But their lips met Acted like lovers But the love's for someone else Acted like friends But hated each other in the face Acted like straights But deep down they're gays Why choose swell When you can choose well Why choose to fake When you can choose to be true Because nothing matters Not even the truth

Swell
Little boy, listen closely 'Cause no one told me But you deserve to know That in this world, you are not beholden You do not owe them Your body and your soul All the youth in the world will not save you from growing older And all the truth in you is too precious to be stolen. It's just the way it is Maybe it's never gonna change But you've got a mind to show your strength And you've got a right to speak your mind And you'll gonna pay for this They're gonna burn you at the stake But you've got a fire in your veins You wasn't made to remain hidden No, You wasn't made to remain hidden, no Show some skin, make him want you 'Cause God forbid you Know your own way home And ask yourself why it matters Who it flatters You're more than flesh and bones Know your own way home And ask yourself why it matters Who it flatters

To All Gay Who Remain Hidden
I saw him on a subway train We looked on each other The whole ride. Not a single word, No secret smiles. Just a look, deep in the eyes. Maybe imagining the life We could have together Sitting on the white sand Of Coney Island beach, Enjoying our cosy home, Getting warm near a fire place On amazingly snowing day. And then a cruel squeaking wheels noise made him leave the train And took all our dreams away. We won't see each other again. See you in another life My love

Coney Island Dream
Being one to sit in judgement of the black, white, the gay or Arab, To judge another upon history of failures, of isolated events. Should one "remain a black man or black woman" when "Everyone" is "sick of their antics," only focusing on the Negative, a few compared to the whole in madhouse protest? Should I see that gays are unfit for marriage, service, children, Or other things just because of the background of the few? Shall I wrap myself in this ignorance, and let us give into this? Rather than except them in whole? Do blacks simply walk around Town and all alone turn everything upside down? Does a ghetto "Grow" in their wake? Do we not cradle this evil view, this sinister Racist hate? Do we not point the finger of blame at the blacks for Having to fly our confederate flags again and again, clearly not In any manner displaying any white love for them? Shall we believe One bad Apple spoils the bunch, even if there is one in every Crowd, so it seems we must remove all who are in their presence, Yet have nothing to do with their practice? PEOPLE DO...

Real Love (And Actual Ignorance)
THE MOST POPULAR VIEW ON POLITICAL EARTH! *Here it is: they believe by some decree that if a marriage must happen at a church, no one by any means should question this word: have you ever even heard? They want to protect their supposed right to decide not to help marry the gays-even from a distance! Even if it's not at their church! They believe that somehow it's by religious opinion they are outside the law, that it doesn't need apply to them. "Be abused" all you want, but if you want my thought, not to be blunt, it's just an excuse to treat gays differently, get our way-when it comes to marriage, how great their immaturity!*

My Political Garbage IV-Sorry to offend you
Buying a car, driving, that's a privilege, Owning a gun is a right, So why is it that we all had the "fair right" To free marriage, it wasn't for gays to decide? It's strange how you could get a gun, Purchase it with little concern for WHY, Or where you intended to use, or if you'd Had a mentally unstable mind, But yet if you wanted to obtain a marriage, You'd have to show them you were "in the right," Indeed this was never a free country until JUSTICE Was finally done over such a great amount of time.

Gay Marriage-Real Freedom
There was an elegant ***** from New York City Or maybe Rome or New Orleans. He was a spectacular *** but didn't do drag at all; Falling somewhere in between that category Of glorious ladies and men of the day. A queen with no throne nor entourage scene, Camouflaging himself in skin-tight trousers, Spectacular coats and jackets, Packets of sachet in his pockets To give him a scent of an unusual gent. As if he had a choice in the matter. He had a delicate way with his manner, His hands and his eyes touching gracefully As if not to disturb the dust on the mind, Often very unkind, he used his tongue slicing And dicing those who offended his senses When such dared to step on his train Invisibly dragging behind him, around him Keeping his visitors at bay, a few feet away Like proper subjects, courtiers to his grace His face locked in a grin; hiding all within The secrets protected by laden witticisms Criticisms if you misbehave, saving smiles; Handing out compliments like cookies. There was always a waving of hands, The arms caught in the wind like cornstalks. For a moment. Then catching, ending like feathers Settling together, resting as if cradling a baby One hip thrown out, the head to one side As if listening; hearing a devil's good joke, Smoking a constant cigarette, the ends never wet Laying the tip on the lip like a kiss His face slightly lifted so the smoke will drift Away from his half-lidded cynical eyes. The talk could be varied, of Tom, **** or Harry He would call women men and vice versa Saying, Robert is a ***** woman is she. He then waiting your laughter, hesitating Seldom laughing himself, having said it all Heard it all, done it all, had them all No fertile male soil left unspoiled by his touch Just entirely too much for one man to handle, No woman to compare, he lived alone somewhere Coming to the bars each night, a familiar sight Drinking, but not seeming drunk, Never sunk so low that he staggered, Still swaggered after hours at the trough Not so much as a slur or a cough. He knew all the jokes that could be made From a seemingly innocent mistake Taking a word here and there and trading Raising a regal eyebrow, somehow changing Restating the meaning leaning it toward the crotch Watching the listener's face, sensing the disgrace; Granting himself the luxury of the infrequent howl His majesty could keen like an un-oiled machine Setting his victim's nerves and gooseflesh to snap Giving his udderless chest a slap, he would go on Make more of the jest, leave his victim no rest And the mourners to offer their apologies. Words such as that are not for ladies Such as this infamous old queen. The old spirit held on after the body was near gone Propelling it nightly to appear on the scene. Mean children would taunt him, just as he taught them And waving their arms like cornstalks, cackle like hens And tease him again, then resume cruising the men Hurting the once regal spirit more with their disdain Than beating him, or cheating him; ignoring him, They dealt him a blow he never could abide That fear he kept inside, all those years, the tears, Still left un-cried, after he died, in his room somewhere. He has left to be shared, the way he fluffed his hair, The off-color joke, spoken in a strange lady's voice Something like a boy's, not like a man's; That flutter of the hands and the stance Still copied today, by the splinter-group gays That straight people think we all are Is all that remains of a star once seen; The seldom lamented, well-imitated, eternal queen.

Part I Dan was a great example and a Christian He went to Church every Sunday and uplifted the community with a great personality But he had a secret he never wished he had to hide He liked guys No matter how much he tried to like Women He went back to his old habits He tried everything in the book to turn But nothing had ever worked So his future was a growing concern After months and months on end without an answer He decided he'd amount enough courage to come out to everyone But he soon found out that the people hes known for years that always welcomed him with a wide smile were not turning their backs with an intense stare And the people who were there for him before didn't really care His parents refused to talk to him until he became straight He couldn't handle all of this emotional weight So he decided he'd do the world a favor and end it late At night When they found out he'd killed himself The community erupted with freight They weeped and cried They prayed and prayed But nothing could bring him back. Their minds not had the image of him in it everywhere they'd go And now they know Not to reject anyone in the future As they realized they were the ones who committed the Sin. Part II Christina was the sweetest Christian girl to ever grace the earth She never said a bad thing to say about anyone And always stayed true to her word She loved reading forewords And was a great student in all of her classes. She was loved by the masses But as she grew up into a teenager She realized that Boys didn't ignite her hart like Girls did And she wanted to know if something was wrong with her Worrying that she'd be sent to Hell despite all her goodness For thinking about holding hands with another woman She was constantly distraught She couldn't keep her lovers away from her parents Because she'd be caught Red-handed. She was trying to avoid being reprimanded For being who she was As the weeks dragged on She couldn't take it anymore Her all bad behavior in school greatly concerned hr parents And they had no clue on what to do with her She then admitted to her parents one night After an intense argument That she liked Girls instead of Boys And she didn't feel ashamed of it With her held up high and the confidence of a large statue Her parents grew silent and stood there blankly for a moment And up-roared in anger, insisting that she leaves the House Screaming at her that she is going against God's will And that she will be sent to Hell until she comes back Admitting she was wrong and liked Boys But that never moment never came. Christina pursued her own life after many years of hard struggle and drugs, she finally found someone who was looking out for her the whole time. After all the lost jobs, unpaid bills, and hospitalizations from binge drinking and drugs She decided to end her frantic ways When she realized her only friend's dismay As she cried when she woke up from the Hospital bed the last time Being hugged by the fact she was alive from it all At that point, her heart grew tall Registering the concept for the very first time After that moment, Christina knew. She asked her best friend to date her And not too long afterwards, they were married. Just like what Christina dreamed of in her teenage years, it was with a Girl.

It’s a strange sentiment The desire to shame the intimate Soft skin to soft skin Hard muscle to hard muscle Flower to flower Rooster to rooster Animal instincts Desire to biochemical desire Tongue to lips Bear to cub The wildness is a thing of wonder Nature is a thing to treasure Condemn how they feel if you will But I will celebrate their lust I will praise their love And I will embrace them While you waste you energy hating them

Shaming
I wonder when people will stop falling in love through Instagram and twitter dms. Having a false sense of acceptance through likes and retweets has become a norm for our world and I'm wondering when it'll stop. I wonder when boys will stop being so afraid to love and girls will believe that men actually aren't all the same... And I wonder when gays will have the rights they deserve and I wonder when women will stop being looked at as the white mans inferior And I wonder when more women will actually believe that we don't have to be the white mans inferior And I wonder when men will learn its okay to be a little vulnerable And I wonder when **** victims everywhere will get the justice they seem to neglect to serve And I wonder when double standards will seize to exist And I wonder when people will get off social networks and go for more walks And I wonder when dates become more common and one night stands will become extinct I wonder when men will stop disrespecting our women and women will respect themselves more. I wonder when I'll stop dreaming about all of these things. But most of all, I wonder when we will decide we are the ones who control our own happiness

I remember when you used to love me; I tasted rainbows and breathed in hope.. Now, we're perfect strangers .. And the light has dimmed to make your love only a memory
