Love
As I stare into the mirror
Looking at what I wear
I realize I wear a color
That represents us as a whole
Those who have been bullied
Beaten
Yelled at
Talked down to
Is it because they were different?
Did they hold another boy's hand?
Or perhaps a girl was caught kissing her girlfriend
Perhaps it had nothing to do with that
Sexuality
Were they tormented because of their clothes?
Hair?
Make-up?
When all they wanted was someone to care
They were hurt
Thinking they weren't good enough
They hurt themselves
That is why I wear purple
To show my small town
That I care about these people
The ones still here and the ones that are gone
I care about them like they were my brothers
Or my sisters
Even if I've never seen them before
And to those that I see every day
Who are being hurt
Who are hurting
I let them know that there's always a place
A person
Who is willing to listen
And is willing to be their friend
And is ready to defend them
As I look into the mirror
And see the color wear
I'm proud to say that these people are my friends
My family
And I love them all
As I stare into the mirror
Looking at what I wear
I realize I wear a color
That represents us as a whole
Those who have been bullied
Beaten

Dear God I almost cried writing this! In honor of Spirit Day I wrote a small...poem I guess you could call it. I'm a member of the GSA in my school and an out-of-the-closet bisexual and one of the reasons why I joined was because I wanted kids to know that it's okay to be loud and proud. There is a safe place that they can go to so that they aren't judged or ridiculed for who they really are and that's kinda what I was hoping to get across with this little poem thingy.
