God created us all in love

July 14, 2012

Why can't I be normal? Why must I feel this way? Some people call me a faggot, Others just say I'm gay. What does it matter who I love? Why can't I just live my life? There is no need to ridicule me, Or cause me all of this strife. Who are you to judge me? Who the hell gave you the right To persecute and tease me For your own selfish delight? I'm "coming out of the closet". I find no reason to hide. I hope you are offended By my enormous sense of pride. So you can keep calling me "fag" and "queer", These words won't hurt anymore. I let these words roll off my shoulder But there's on thing I can't ignore: I won't stand aside and watch As you victimize people like me. It's something I won't tolerate And pretty soon you'll see That God created us all in love. We are all equal to each other. And the greatest advice that I can give Is for us all to love one another.

Thanks, Tyree. I have really enjoyed the poems you have written. It's nice to be able to get some recognition from a fellow poet. I know, as poets, we're not really looking for recognition or fame or fortune or anything that is materialistic like that. We only seek to give voice to our feelings and to perhaps help other people with our words.This is probably one of my favorite poems because I feel so strongly about the issue being presented. Thanks again.
