[hometext] => this is something i think everybody should read i only wish my girlfriend would read this
[bodytext] => Sex is not what it used to be And I wear this red bow to remind me I lost a friend and unknown friendships To love. I am not racist, but a rainbow reflection Of those who prefer not to judge. Just as the trees, I wish we were free United To stand for a cause. If the girls were pick And the boys blue What color would you be? Simply, For the fact That I am different I am labeled And bashed Bruised And hidden As not to shame my family's past. My identity by birth In all that can be It is the red bow you see The bow of my heart Tied to me Wanting nothing more Than to love love Honestly I ask you To understand Before another unfortunately dies Being gay Is not about you What you have Or how far from you You desire me to be It's not a Question Of dominance or Reproduction For me to convey I am the I in PRIDE Accept me as I stand Respect me for my Journey Or leave me to love Myself That would mean more to me Than the words you speak to me and my red bow [comments] => 2 [counter] => 172 [topic] => 61 [informant] => Un4GivenSoul [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )
