Life


Life is beautiful, and life is grand.
 
A life is only given once. I hope you understand.
 
It is not to who we are born, but why we are born.
 
Life should not be wasted, and how you choose should not be scorned.
 
To be given life, means you choose your fate.
 
Choose your family, choose your mate.
 
I'm a male surrounded by women and men,
 
I like one of the two, women, no it's not them.
 
Society frowns upon abnormalities
 
why must we reap society's sins and tragedies? 
 
We are human just like you,
 
we have a heart, bones, red blood like you too.
 
You hate us because we go against thousands of teachings
 
Your auntie's, your grandma's, your preacher's preachings.
 
Why can't we live together in peace and harmony?
 
Why must you look down on us like we are nothing and filthy?
 
There is no difference between us except one thing. 
 
The person we love, the man I choose, my king.
 
We are all considered human, but don't include us in your sins
 
As of June 26, 2015, me and my kind celebrate, Love Wins!
 
Remember, your life is yours, and my life is mine,
 
If I don't judge you, don't judge me, and we'll be fine. 
 
Life is beautiful, and Life is grand,
 
A life is only given once. I hope you understand.
