Being gay
Queer
Homoerotic
Or whatever you identify with
Doesn't define who you are
Or who you choose to be
Nor does it reflect on anyone else
Apart from yourself
Along with who you choose
To lay beside;
And who you shut your eyes with
Late at night
Women are women regardless
Of who they lay down beside
Men are men
No matter what
You feel inside
People are people No MATTER
What they identify as
I have a few questions
For those of you that are straight
Have you ever been forced
To be something you're not?
So you must hide the real you
Behind clothing,
Music, makeup... or a beard
You begin to lie
Trying to keep up the façade
It begins to weigh you down
Your happiness
No longer a thing
Just a dream that waves a white flag
In the distance
If not can you imagine
Being in this persons shoes
Just for a day
Living to appease others
Hiding just so the family
Doesn't think differently
This is why we are so frustrated
Torn between the truth
And who everyone else wants us to be
I AM ME
Will that ever be enough...
I AM ME
A PERSON...
A person that loves freely
LOVE IS LOVE
No matter who they are
