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
