Not really a depressing poem just a thing.
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!

I am gay.
I'm not a disease or a problem.
I'm not an affliction.
I dont need treatment.
I don't need help.
I'm not sick.
I'm not confused.
I'm not a sin.
I am your daughter,
Your sister,
Your friend,
Your co-worker,
A classmate,
Your acquaintance
A stranger.
I am trans.
I need love, just like you.
I need smiles.
I need support.
I need a hug.
I need a friend.
I need a family.
I need acceptance.
I need understanding.
I need you.
I am pan.
I know what love is.
I know what pain is.
I know what hate is.
I know what life is.
I am bi.
And I need you to love me
The same way you did before you knew.
I am lesbian.
I have experienced hate from more than just you.
I am gay.
And I won't change.
I won't back down.
I won't give up.
I won't pretend.
I won't lie.
I won't deny.
I won't hide
I won't hurt.
I am gay.
And that is okay
