Gay? No Way.


Don't define the undefinable

People are not words, people cannot be broken down

No dictionary can tell me who to be 

No thesaurus can find something similar

So neither can you. 

 

Everyone says:

You? Gay?

No way. 

Your hair is much too long 

Too much pink in your wardrobe 

Look at your beautiful nail polish. 

 

But I always reply:

Does how I look change what's inside

 

Boys and GIrls 

Don't let some strangers words

Tell you how you should be

The change i'd like to see?

A world where I can stay 

And be just me
