Laura Hew Poet Free verse

To Be William

Why
When people hate
They hate so hard?
And
I
Am so sorry
For
Their
Menacing words
To be
Be
William
Is
To be strong, 
             courageous, 
                    and beautiful not just out rightly but within your soul
To be William
Is to be true to thin self
To be William
Is
Not easy
But to be William
Is to instill hope
And
Why do words
Like
***, Homo, ***** exist
Because 
William
Unlike  you
They do not see the good
In themselves
And
There will be those
In life
Who will always try to bring you down
BUT
To be William
Is forgiveness
And to be
William
Is
To be
Bigger than
It all
And
Never stop
