I may not be thin But I am still beautiful I may have some scars But I am still human I may be gay But I am not a whore I may believe differently than you but that doesn't make me stupid I may be confident in myself But that doesn't make me a bitch If I choose to express myself That doesn't make me crazy My dress choice doesn't make me ugly Just because I insult myself doesn't mean that you can My love is different than yours but it is still potent My heart loves It beats It yearns It hopes It feels It breaks I'm just as human as you are (If you're human at all) And lo, the gods looked down from their mountain perch and they hung their heads in shame
