I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE
I want to know what it's like... To be normal. To be accepted. To be human. To be equal. To be free.
I want to know what it's like... To be open. To be heard. To be loved. To be happy. To be me.
I want to know what it's like... To feel like I belong. To feel like I am strong. That who I am isn't wrong. I want to know what it's like... To know that I am here. That Iʼll make it through the year. To know I wonʼt disappear.
I want to know what it's like... To not have to fight. To see an end in sight. To make what is wrong right. I want to know what it's like... To be able to believe. In a higher power that doesn't see. Me as sin or sodomy.
I want to know what it's like... To not feel like Iʼm a freak To not feel like I am weak To not be silenced when I speak I want to know what it's like... To live beyond a closet door. To see my father once more. To show him I'm not who I was before.
I want to know what it's like... To undo what's been done to me. To give sight to those who cannot see. That I am no lesser of a human being. I want to know what itʼs like... To not be considered a disease. To not have a majority I have to please. To freely express my individualiTY.
I want to know what itʼs like... To live in a land truly of the free. Not a land that excludes me. This is not how itʼs supposed to be! I want to know what itʼs like... To not be the target of bigotry To not have you question my sanity To not succumb to your superiority!
I want to know what it's like... To have this pain in me subside. To heal this wound that bleeds inside. To get back the tears that I've cried. To take back the years that Iʼve tried. To bring back the life that has died. To unite this world's divide. To make change with stride. To not stand below, but beside.
I want to know what it's like... To have this choice you say is mine. To have science & religion intertwine. To have love be redefined. I want to know what it's like... To have a government that won't instate Unfair laws that provoke hate For fear society will disintegrate
I want to know what itʼs like... To have equal opportunity. To know full equality. To be one humanity.
I want to know what it's like... To be treated equally by my peers. On the edge of a new frontier.
A frontier that no one will dictate. A frontier where there will be no debate. A frontier in which everyone can relate. A frontier made up of love and not hate.
I want to know what it's like... To open your eyes so you can see. The way this world is supposed to be. We arenʼt so different, you & me.
TD;LR, This was a poem about my father who died recently and wanted everybody to have equality after his brother died because he was bullied because of who he loved he hung himself. R.I.P. |

here is mine
wanna be the very best Like no one ever was To catch them is my real test To train them is my cause
I will travel across the land Searching far and wide Each Pokemon to understand The power that's inside
Pokemon, its you and me I know it’s my destiny Pokemon, oh, you're my best friend In a world we must defend Pokemon, a heart so true Our courage will pull us through
You teach me and I'll teach you Pokemon, gotta catch 'em all
Every challenge along the way With courage I will face I will battle every day To claim my rightful place
Come with me, the time is right There's no better team Arm in arm we'll win the fight It's always been our dream
