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!"
