There is no Difference

There is not a difference
Not at all
You make those barriers
It’s your fault.

It is still life
It is still love
Yet why do you think
That it is unjust?

To have what you get
Is my only wish
Why can’t you just accept?
Some are just like this.

True felony lies
In your denial
To give us the freedom
To love who we want




This is not a choice
This is not a sickness
This is who I am
Stop judging my preference!

Mock me, insult me
I will not deter
I am not immoral
I am not in the wrong

Believe what you want
But don’t ever decide
What is right and
What is wrong in love.

Your idea of normal is
How the shell looks
Is what the heart
Should feel.

This is how you’ve been raised
And I too, now do you see
How lucky you are to not
End up like me?


If I can only be like you
Then it wouldn’t hurt
When every time I love,
It’s just not gonna work.

You’ve been pushing us
Making everyone believe
We are abnormal
We have crazy feelings.

Do you not realize?
You are shutting away,
People who are like you
And just love in a different way.

Give life to another
Is only one part
You tell me it
Completes a person
Well I say, not.

Yes, its assurance to the years,
But that’s future you’re talking about
Imagine your present as miserable
Can you live that long enough?

You use God as your ally
And tell us we are sinners
Citing proof from the bible
Quoting words from the verses

Yet, you are naïve of the nature
Of your own work, realize
That is blasphemy you’re doing,
One of the seven deadly sins.

My only fault is to follow
The greatest gift of God,
Didn’t Christ always say to love
Against all odds?

Now go again and again,
Stab me with your words,
Make me feel like
I ‘am a curse

Maintain your status quo
Control your people,
Stop emotions
Devoid our rights


Separate two people who
Are willing to love,
Above prejudice, above your selfishness
Above our bodies that you classify so much.

There is no difference
You see our love as unthinkable
And we see yours like that too
There is no difference.

There is no difference,
There is no difference,
Just love between two people,
The same and the opposite.

This is a piece I wrote to express the feelings and struggle of our LGBT community.
I' am a very supportive person for the LGBT and I want to show it more in my works.

To all the LGBT out there, I hope I shouted out your feelings, as correctly as I felt them myself.
