I Am Different

I am different, that is true
Like the opposite color orange on the color spectrum is blue.

The rainbow no matter what color you are, you fit in, whether your straight or gay it's time to begin, 

To begin to accept that we need to get along, like a poets writing can become a beautiful song.

The hate, Black...... As dark as night, it does not fit in, it shines no light.

Stop the hate, nothing in darkness can grow, no love or peace, just sadness and sorrow.

Living in peace, loving one another you see, is how we begin, branching out like a tree.

And if we can spread "acceptance"of all,  like the branches of that tree, no matter how far, no matter how tall

The branches of that tree you see, will reach to that rainbow where we all should be, 

together in harmony, the colors how bright, we are all a part and can shine that beautiful light.
