Ever have one of those days where you wake up with a smile, and no matter what happens you can't shake that smile and you know exactly who to thank for that smile? That is today for me. I am so stressed out, but I am still happy. She makes me beyond happy, yes I said she. So just wanted to make the announcement.

For the past few weeks, I have been dying to write a new poem. I need to express myself, but I am in need of a new muse.

Anyone who has been reading knows that my prior muse was the one I thought I would spend the rest of my life with. However, if you have been reading, you also know that that ship has sailed. I have found that there is another who gives me inspiration, but if you read I Don't Understand, or saw the deviation Late Valentines Day Card, it is fairly clear that I can not pursue anything with said muse, no matter how much of my heart she has saved through her actions, or how little she knows about my feelings for her.

So I need some new inspiration. So I turn to you, anyone who reads this, and yes, my muse is probably reading this (and doesn't even know she is the one I was talking about), for a new source of inspiration. If there is any topic you believe a poem is needed for, I would love to try to write one. Any topic at all is excepted. I thank you in advanced.

I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.

I am the boy who never finished high school, because I got called a fag everyday

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.

I am the one working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.

I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.

We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.

I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.

I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.

I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.

We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.

I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.

I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.

I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.

I am the woman who died when the EMTs stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.

I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn't have to always deal with society hating me.

I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.

I am a warrior for my country serving proud, but can't be my true self because gays aren't allowed in the military.

I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

I am the person ashamed to tell my own friends I'm a lesbian, because they constantly make fun of them.

I am the who isn't sure what she is. I am the who is rejected by her "best friends" because of a less-than-conventional crush.

I am what I am and I don't know who because I am always thinking about what other people will make of me. Who am I? Not boy not girl, just me and little people care about who you are and what you long for when you look like someone else obviously and your wishes and dreams seem easily to be guessed. Fail.

I am the man who held his cousin as he died when he was beaten for being gay.

IF YOU BELIEVE THAT HOMOPHOBIA IS WRONG... REPOST THIS
AS "HOMOPHOBIA."

IF YOU ARE IGNORANT... IGNORE.

For the past few weeks, something has been weighing heavily on my mind. Well, that question has finally been answered. I have no need to share the question, or my revelation I gained from the thoughts concerning it. All I will say is, the period of biding my time in deep contemplation is over. I know what must be done. I am not even close to sorry for what I must do. I am resolved in the actions that are necessary in the time to come. If I seem different to those around me..good. That is the intention. Believe me, the change is for the better.
