Write It!

May 29, 2017

What are things that you can feel, but not touch?

There are many answers
Happiness
Sadness
Anger
Fear
Love
But why is love set apart from the rest of the list? 
Why does love have the ability to hold such a large stigma, a shame, discrimination and humiliation amongst this generation
Why is love the concrete of hatred and why is it the cause of sickness in this poisoned nation
There's a gap here in America
The thin gap of unity and dissension is weakening and widening from the blows of loathing brains, dripping with what I can only describe as the true ecstasy that comes with ignorance
There are many problems in America
God forbid I (Don't be scared) hold my girlfriends hand
This is normal
(They're staring) 
This is love.
(Write it!) 
We're not trying to turn your children gay
(I'm scared)
We're not trying to piss off the homophobes
(Let go)
Let go!
