Not My Name

Faggot
That is not my name
Homo
That is not my name
Lesi
Dyke
Butch
Not my name
The labels fly
They try to pin me down
Who I really am
Not all of them understand that you
Cannot
Label
Me
I am a rainbow
A beautiful mix of colors
Not one shade the same though they might seem that way
I am purple
Proud, raising above childish names
I am the outcast
The person who lives though ignored or made fun of
I am the gay
Compared to this worlds mundane routine
Although in many peoples eyes I do not fit in
I know strength
I know enduring the impossible
I know living with ignorance
But, above all,
I know true love <3
