seen

being unseen

then

being seen

what once was

impossible

becomes

possible

lift a hand to the sky

and thank life

for

bringing you joy

being broken

oh so broken

then

realizing it's a lie

and

you've been here the

whole time

it's a whole

new

way of living,

when you're free

even in the

dark

i can spread

rainbow paint

with the toes

of my tennis shoes

it's unseen

but

i can see

Lets all take a car ride

As we see the rainbows and the pride

What used to be riots of free rights

Have become parades and sparkly tights

There was only one place: Gay bars

No we are able to walk amongst the stars

So much to go over but so little words

Today we're able to be ourselves so get out your swords

LGBTQ community is surfing the world's tides

Ally

I see the hate all around me.

This hate, without any just cause.

"Hate the gays," they say,

As they hurl the word "gay" around,

Using it as an insult.

Along with other slurs,

Which I shall not name here.

It's in my face,

All the time, everyplace.

Me, I'm not gay.

I could just walk away.

Yet, I stand here,

Telling these hateful fools,

"No"

They question me,

They demand to know,

Am I a gay?

"No," I answer,

"But the people who you bully,

"Who you beat,

"Who's murder your hate fuels,

"As kindling fuels a pyre,

"The people you would have lined up against a wall,

"And shot without trial,

"That could be my brother,

"My sister,

"You would degrade them, strip of of their rights,

"For what?

"They are innocents!

"And if loving is a crime,

"Then we are all guilty,

"Whether we're gay or not!"

What happens when you‘ve dabbled.

You once preached disgrace.

You’ve grown and embraced.

You‘ve lived and learned.

And you know that love is just that.

Without Condition

Heart

Soul

Mind

These do not entertain a gender role

So I will love who I love-

Without Condition
