Love is Love
Love is love
“Gender doesn’t define love.”
Why is it people judge what they don’t understand?
Homo, faggot, dyke, queer!
Out of all the pain we mostly hold in fear.
We endure and we take all we can.
We twist, snap, and eventually we bend.
We try to fit in, and we try hard!
But no one is happy with what they see.
We continue to think, “no one will be happy with the true beauty inside me.”
Fight! Fight! Fight! That’s all we are best at!
The harder we fight the more pain we take in.
Don’t tell me it will be ok!
It will never be ok!
Because we are fighting an endless battle.
All our attempts for acceptance will be futile.
Love will continue to be love.
Pain will continue to be pain.
We are who we are, and no one can take that away.

My name is Giovanni, I am a student at Illinois College, which is in Jacksonville, Illinois. I was born with a birth defect that has made me deaf from my left ear, I'm 19 years old, Puerto Rican and I love poetry, art, and music! The surgeries I had when I was younger left me missing some ribs on the right side of my body. I got bullied for many things throughout my life, but I have been able to live my life everyday! I want to spread my love of life through music, I want to be an inspiration to those who were bullied and those with disabilities! Singing, poetry, drawing, and music have been my passion since forever and they will always be a part of my life!
