BONES Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 *PLEASE NOTE* I DID NOT WRITE THIS AND THE AUTHOR IS UNKNOWN .... I thought this was a great poem it was discussed in one of my classes so here it is ............... My Life as A Lesbian Why am I judged on who I am Or better yet, who I love Society’s regime has not my viewsOn what I think love isWas the fighting vain?Must I live in shame?Or hide who I am To be what you expect me to be.I can’t explain it, but I know its rightDid you speak to my God?Did he tell you what is right for me?Or do you only know the traditional God?That you only hear about and never found for yourselfIf you asked Him, is loving another human wrongDo you think he would turn me away?Because the views of man in the so called BibleSupposedly speaks of what He wantsYou might say it is wrongBut who are you to judge?If I am happy, what is the fault?My mom says I need to change But can I really change who I am?She doesn’t understand, that Gays are also humanJust our views on love contradictCan I change that I am blackIf someone views me as a mistaken minority? Can I stop being a womanWhen someone says that I am second class?Can I ever stop loving the same sexWhen society views it as evil?Just because I am upon a brave fewWho choose to be who they are, and love what they’ve becomeMust I be characterized and taunted until I change?No I was not born this way, and no one pushed along the processBut sometimes to be happy, you forget your surroundings and be who you are.When I realized who I wasIt took me a while to understand. How will I come out, how will I standWho will like me,Who will not?Who will accept me,Who will reject me?Who will love me,Who will hate me?Who will let me live,Who will try to kill my spirit?Will you accept me for my differences;Will I accept you for yours?Can whites accept that I am black, If they didn’t, am I suppose to change?Can heterosexuals accept that I’m Gay, If not, do you think I should rethink my sexuality?Do I choose to be different,Do I want to be hate in your eyes, dirt under your feet, and center of a discussion?

BONES Posted November 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 (edited) Great p o e m! Thanks I only wish I could take the credit for writing it but I did not it was discussed in my Diverse Population class and my prof. gave us all a copy I also thought it was awesome. I am all about fairness and when people speak crap about the gay/lesbian community or about any minority, race issues etc.... no matter what I get pissed off especially when they do it with hate and ignorance. I was raised to judge a person by thier actions and not by the color of their skin, sexuality etc.......
