One
For those that support the fight for marriage equality.
My heart goes out for those who've lost loved ones because of differences.
P.S. I don't usually write poetry at all and I know I am a complete novice when it comes to writing it, but I felt like sharing it with all you wonderful folk. This was a poem I wrote when I was in an emotional state when I finally accepted my LGBT sexuality.
Silent we were
Our hearts beat strong
Together they sound as one
Battered and bruised our bodies become
Our hearts beat strong
We stand together as one
Our fists are thrown in the air
And we chant
We chant with all our might
Our long silence is broken
In the eyes of MLK and Mahatma
Violence in our actions will be the death of us
We stand as one to fight for one
Others are granted this right but we are not
We are discriminated and we suffer
But no longer will we stand this intolerance
We are human
They are human
We are the same
Yet we are not
Our hearts reach for those willing
We are a loving force
A fighting force
Never a violent force
Until that day that comes
We grow stronger day by day
Until that day that comes
We stand strong
When freedom touches upon us
Until that day that comes
We stand as one
