My Stand


This is my last stand The bastion that all else breaks against The last correct way to be wrong The last that I am feeling to be wrong I want to love I am told not to If legality is what I am about I may as well go But I believe The change is right I wanted to change myself Now I am different As I always was Different from those around me But not lesser No longer lesser They try to make me feel their hate But I am stronger I become myself and love myself If I die for the cause I will be happy To die for other's happiness Is the only way to go This is my last stand I may be gone But in the end I will win I will stay standing

I just noticed that the poem is located in the Detroit area, where I live. It's awesome to see people close to home on here!
