Celebration and Pride

See my hands bound so tight Securely hidden Behind my back So I just sit here and fight You don't know how it is to be gay In an society Where you have to hide Your love everyday You don't know how hard I try To show you that I am no different That if you cut me I still will cry You see how I fight I do this Every day And every night I will not back down No matter how hard you push I will Stand my ground I will not sit back and wait For a group of business men And religious radicals To seal my fate This is the 21st century But still you fear What we don't know Not understanding we want to be free We want to dance in the street We want to walk down the aisle A smile on all faces As everyone comes up to their feet I will not stop until I see it that way Until I can look at my spouse Whoever he or she may be And proudly say Look at us babe We are free today! This is for all struggling members of the LGBTQ community whether you are out and proud or still hiding behind closed doors remember there is always someone out there for you. You are not alone in this battle. I strongly urge anyone who needs to talk about coming out or just everyday things about being Bisexual Gay Pan Lesbian...whatever on your mind to talk to someone they trust. That could be a parent, a best friend, a teacher or even me. Remember there is always someone who has your back and you are NEVER alone. P.S. I apologize for some of the odd off rhymes. That is why I made it free verse and not rhyme like I had planned.

I love this poem. Can I use it in a speech and debate competition? I would need to copy and paste it for formatting.

Emotions do not have a gender, be happy ... Light & Love
