Never backing down

Hi guys, I'm new here. I have been contemplating about it for a full year. But now my true vision's clear. Time to break away from my normal atmosphere.
First I should introduce myself. It won't be like a book on your shelf. Or when you drank sour milk. Or you found out the definition of a milf.
Everyone else full puts their contact info. I'm like like that for my intro. So I'm gonna get to the get go. Let's talk about me, ready? GO!
All my life is filled with hurt. At one point in time I was called a smurf. No one could look at me without a smirk. But their attempts just wouldnt work.
I brushed them aside it was really easy. Some would even say easy peasy. I would call it lemon squeezy. But now all the rhymes are getting cheasy.
Ah, much better. This is easier to read. Pardon while I adjust the rhythm to suit me. As I was saying. Constant turmoil and unwanted attention always poured my way. I was a magnet. Where I go, pain follows. When I laugh, its forced. When I cry, it prevents my sleep. And when I smile, it holds back thousands of tears that pound away at the floodgates. But, it doesn't stop me. All my life is full of ridicule, layered over with the fog of homophobia, stereotypes, and disgust. But I find the light to bring me safety. I find my few friends. Their presence fills me with the raw essence of love, hope, and security. It blasts away all doubt and makes me love myself again. So I say to those who bash me. What did you do? Did you break me? No. Did you make me give up? Uh-uh. So what was your point? The only peoples approval I seek are the ones I care about. I have it. You can continue your attempts to use your words to scratch, claw, bite, and stab away at my being, but I will never back down. I have those that I have to set a model for. So I can never back down. I have those that I have to please. So I will never back down. And I have MYSELF to take care of so I WON'T ever back down.
