Don't end this because I said I need some time alone.
Don't end this because I didn't kiss you goodbye.

End this because I'm gay

Even though it's not all over.
Surviving is like a four leaf clover.
It's almost always good luck.
Though, you might seem like a sitting duck,
You're a true hero.
People should look up to you.
You're a true fighter.
You're proof it does get brighter.
You're sun.
You're the one.
It sounds honestly cheesy, but truthful.
What do I want?What do I want?What do I want?10 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
I want acceptance
Whether it shapes my life or is just a phase
I want comfort
That even if I mess up, no one will criticize me
I want assurance
That when I screw up, I can cry, learn from it, and move on
I want peace
Not having to look over my shoulder every time I leave the house
I want equality
Regardless of age, gender identity, or sexual orientation
I want love
No matter who I chose to give my heart to
I want to dream
Imagine a future the way I see it
I want support
If I become a doctor, tattooist, or janitor
I want encouragement
To follow my heart
What do I want?
To live and to be alive

It is not a choice.
It certainly isn't in just black and white,
No, there are many colours in a rainbow.
It is not just you.
It is not just me.
It certainly isn't abnormal,
No, there are many people like us.
It is not only painful.
It is not for attention.
It certainly isn't a game,
No, this is serious.
It's what you make it out to be.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Ashes Of Tomorrow
I can destroy what I create
If I really, and truly wanted to
I can light these feelings ablaze
If I didn't want anymore support from you
I barely stop myself time and time again
I realize there's a sense of cruelty in all of us
It's just that feeling, everything might be in vain
When tempted at breaking down those barriers of trust
To jeopardize all of the triumphs
I want to be the one who is blamed
The fire will reach the sky, and become my guidance
I want to be swallowed by my own inner, selfish flames

I sit behind the scenes of my friendships
Alone, with a fake smile on my face

Under stars were held our tears
Under blankets, our afflictions
Under God, under their fears
Under Oath, words left unspoken
Unto the death that we never shared
Under eyelids, her eyes, unopened
Under the covers, never awoken
Under the blank face I had to bare
Under the burden only I knew she carried
Under the knowledge that they did not care
Along with her body, under a prayer
Our secret was silently buried
And now under this folded up paper
In ink, my soul's blackened blood,
I write that I never will marry
The girl whom I gave all my love
But the devil, I know, was no lover

In The Snowfall

As if it was just last night
Our surroundings were lit
Illuminated by the surfaces covered in white
The way you smiled
It gave me comfort inside
And my heart seemed to be veiled
Knowing you have become a part of my life

Step by step
I stopped blinking
As we tread
I ceased breathing
Chills were sent
Our hands touching
Our lips met
Gazing at you is a must
You curiously peered up
As snowflakes danced down towards us
And it dawned on me that I was madly in love
Mesmerizing my soul
Spreading a calming warmth
Into my core
I held you in my arms
I felt whole
Connected our hearts

Rubbing dirt on a wound is not a rational treatment
You can’t continue to push someone down
And expect them to stand
Try to tell them that they are treated as equal
When they can’t even be joined hand in hand
And you say that you’re civilized people??!
When you won’t let a man love a man???
But you’ll cover a shotgun disaster
With a wedding that neither parent had planned
With no choice, force their hand on the matter
Yet two willing and loving are morally banned??
NO!
You are not doing work to be admired
When you go out and picket against open gays!
You’re cheering when a gay man is fired

My Rant about Battle of the SexesOkay, I get that the whole “battle of the sexes” thing has been going on for years now, and that it’s popular, but why force it upon high school kids? We learn enough about sex ed in high school, we shouldn't have an entire day dedicated to being separated by sex to learn about dating. The majority of students are looking forward to this ONLY so that they can get out of school for a day. Of course during the event, guys are going to be told to be macho and to treat women fairly, and the girls are going to be empowered. All I can see for this is “guys, it’s top to start thinking with your head and not your dick. WMy Rant about Battle of the Sexes3 months ago in Editorial More Like This

Grab the plain black t-shirt

Going Against Societal StereotypesI can easily remember the first time I was called a wannabe homo. I had just come out of the closet as homosexual, and everyone seemed to think it was for attention. Mostly the guys I am on the football and basketball teams with bully me for it. They always call me a fake faggot, wannabe homo, attention whore, and other things like those because I do not fit the stereotype of gays.Going Against Societal Stereotypes5 months ago in Short Stories More Like This

Opening to your family that you're gay/lesbian/bisexual/transexual/pansexual or whatever, and also against "homophobic" people, people who are severely against this.

Society told me the world is black and white
I didn't want to believe it
Because I want something more than a narrow minded life

Feeling as if I no longer could move forward

I had to lock away my tears in a prison
For I am the only one who can keep my resolve safe
But I'm such a fragile person

Being gay is like being covered in bandaids. The first one you remove hurts like Hell, and it might even make you cry. The next few you remove also hurt, but you get used to the pain. Usually someone else is also trying to remove their bandaids, so you help each other out. As the bandaids come off, more of your true self is revealed for the whole world to see. And once all of the bandaids are finally off, they can never be put back on.

Once I thought I hated her, but really it was just the circumstances I hated, not her.
She's not in a relationship right now.... but I'm pretty sure they're straight. If I asked, would I get turned away? If I get accepted it may be the chance to finally get over him once and for all, but it'd be so awkward for a while if I got turned down.
