This is a call for queer poetry, there's a serious shortage in this world, and I intend to put a dent in the shortage. The only rule is you can't use the word forbidden.

Queer

Red, orange, yellow

Green, blue, purple

It's just love

Not immoral

Colors so pretty

Showing off pride

Showing freedom

No more needing to hide

Who are you to say

Who I can love?

I doubt they mind

In the world above

Here's a not-so-secret secret;

I'm Bi

I'm serious

No lie

I've been attracted

To people of both sex

As long as I can remember

No more needed steps

I've dated people

Of both genders

Not getting offended

By the offenders

This is me

No joke

You can either accept it

Or go choke

Cuz this is important to me

No matter what y'all say

I am this way

And this way I will stay

We’re Not Broken

We're 

broken,

they tell us,

trapped in small minds.

So if they knew

that we once thought the same

(and that some of us still do),

weeping and begging and wanting

to just, for once, be normal, (like them), 

they would laugh and laugh and begin hunting.  

But we're the furthest things from broken;

it's those people who need some mending - 

those who will not hesitate to

make our lives a living hell.

So please do not worry,

my little siblings;

we are perfect,

and we are

queer; so,

live.

Colors

The world is not just black and white,

it's full of colors.

No matter the combination,

no matter if you close your eyes

its always there, in your dreams

I could list all the ways the colors can collide;

red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple

purple, blue, and pink

yellow, pink, and blue

purple, black, grey, and white

red, yellow, black, and blue

blue, pink, and white

pink, blue, and green

green, purple, and white

red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, and white

black, pink, green, blue, and purple

grey, white, black, and green

However I doubt I caught them all.

One thing colors can give us all is life

and if all of us have life, we are all human

and if we are all human, than we are all equal.

People seem to forget that last part, but it's still very true

we are all equal in this world and

nothing changes from me to you.
