Notes About The Poem

November 24, 2023

Contest : Proud Of Your Heart And Love

Sponsored by : Fire Bird

______________________

Non-binary Pride


LGBTQ is the spectrum of contrary community colors,
surviving secluded in the singular lattice of love, 
weaved with the special strands of myriad hues 
that make the rearing rainbow of inclusive glow.

They question the notion of binary gender identification,
face violence and inequality because of who they are,
but gender orientation is an integral part of our selves,
human rights demands it to be protected unabused.

The mental health issues stemming from rejection,
need to be addressed with societal concern and care,
by empathically accepting them as what they are,
helping them to build the high level of self-esteem.
 
Proudly swaying the sagged flag of deserving dignity
in transcendent realm of love that knows no boundary, 
they struggle in the journey of equality and inclusivity,
as their hearts beat with the cadence of non-binary pride.
