I love her 
She loves me 
But it’s not allowed 
“It’s evil” 
Is what I’m told 
I don’t want to f*cking hide it 
I want basic human rights 
That gold band should be around our fingers 
We should have that right 
The right to love who we love 
We shouldn’t have to hide  
We should be able to be open 
No one should feel forced to hide themselves 
I want to lover her 
She wants to love me 
So, fuck your beliefs 
We were born this way 
You’re not going to change us 
Nothing will 
We are proud 
We don’t want to change 
We’re stronger this way 
You may say it’s evil but 
I love her  
She loves me

This is a poem about the struggles that LGBBTQIA+ people face with loving who they love. It shows how we stopped caring what other people tell us and believe about the community. This displays the pride we have in our community.
