Just be meI may not be the biggest.
I may not be popular.
I may not be strong enough.
Or cool enough.
I may never do drugs.
I may never get high.

But I am me.
And that's all that I can be.
I may not be as smart as you, but that doesn't mean I'm dumb.
I may not be as strong as you, but that doesn't mean I'm weak.
Just because I cry a lot does not make me a fag.
I am me.

And I'm trying to like me a little more now.
Take care everyone. And thanks for reading this.

reach the sunIf I were a pretty little flower
Would that make me beautiful?
But with these thorns around my waste
I could hurt you.
Without meaning to of course.
The unintentional moments we all pass through
Looking through the looking glass
We can never return to being tiny bulbs
We grow, with love, fear, desire
But are cut from beneath

So we must wait
Until the echoes of the past no longer reach our ears
Until the moments that we've hated for so long, can disappear
We are not to be toyed with, or treated like animals
We are free, in our own way..

So we must breathe a little more
Hoping one day
To reach the sun..

come with meshe is perfection
the little one in the mirror
but she can't see herself
with the fog from all the lurkers
in her head, on the street
in the ground or on her feet
the shadow that crawls beneath the carpet
is nightly a guest, yet to be conquered

we cannot conquer what we do not face
but facing, means accepting and acting
It's hard. Even terrifying. Horrors of the mind, are not just of the mind.
Consciousness is all around. Every little sound, and feeling, fueled into a depper despair

Relaxation and meditation are little helpers.
Silently keeping the hidden, away.
But they will resurface at times. Sometimes violently. Sometimes g

If I were a piece of wood, would you carve me into something beautiful, or throw me in the fireplace?
If I were the most expensive art piece, would you look at me with admiration, or disgust?

I know okay? I know.
It's pointless asking you these questions.
And wanting someone to hate you isn't a good thing.
I'm weird though. I just really don't know any more..

I'm trying to live. Even though I'm an overwhelming emotional wreck, I still try..
I know that I repeat things a lot of the time.

The Best Intentions Are Fraught With Disappointment

That might very well be true.
We often times forget the good things. And sometimes it seems like there really are no good things in this life.
People have bullied others so much that they can't take it. And they kill themselves because it's so hard.
I know this.
There's times where I know that I'm not a good person. Times where I'm amazed that anyone would like me, or want to be my friend.

But even so, I don't want you to give up.
Even if it's hard. Even if it seems like no o

People may say that you're not worth it. That there's no point in even trying, because you know that you'll fail anyway.

Imagine a world where shadows crawl
Where everywhere you turn, flames start spreading onto your body

You feel as if they are going to fall off. The little knife in your pocket seems inviting, as your fingers are so very cold.
At this altitude, the world looks very small. The air here is so thin. It's hard to breathe. Every blood cell in your body is near frozen. The only thing keeping you still awake is the heat from the distant sun, as it touches to fr

Be who you are

:iconpyroshadow18:

We are all human beings who populate this planet.
Being gay or bisexual/asexual/transgender is a wonderful thing.
People can be cruel, and disgusting, with the insane amounts of hate and fear we have for each other.
I know that I'm afraid of a lot of things, but I still manage to love people regardless of their sexual identity.
I love people. Both guys and girls. And I'm very glad that I do.
Boys are beautiful. And girls are gorgeous.
I have no problem accepting people. Because I know that pain hurts. And I know it doesn't go away. At least in my case.
I love you regardless of whether you're a guy or girl, gay or straight, black or white. I hate racism. I hate fear. And I hate pain.
And I will never find hating someone who's trying to be who they are, acceptable. Being gay or straight or transgender is wonderful!
Be who you are. Be proud of who you are. And love who you are.

Take care. I hope you find this helpful.
Love. Don't hate.

I love you.

~Josh~

I LOVE It, That's right, hate is the only thing that ruins acceptance among people, because before being bisexual, gay, lesbian, transgender etc... We are people.

Thank you very much Kendra. People need to be accepting of others. And not so full of hate and fear that it blocked them from seeing us as people. We have feeling and aspirations and dreams just like everyone else does. And there's nothing wrong with loving someone of the same sex or gender. To me that makes no difference at all. :)

Take care. :)

No problem :D accurate, there are still many people who must accept that love to someone of the same gender is as normal as anything else.

I agree. Love knows no boundaries. And it's sad that people are so closed-minded about sexuality. Hopefully that will change someday. Love is love.

nothing is impossible, one day people will understand that love is free, knows no genres, that love does not judge, that is spontaneous and loves whoever.

I agree. People shouldn't judge people based on who they love anyway. It's rediculous. And it's even worse that some "Christians" who are supposed to believe in God, hate gay people. Someone who hates someone else for something they can't change, is really close-minded in my view. Learn to accept and love people. And care for them. Then being gay won't even matter at all. We're all still just people who want to live our lives. That's really all we want.. People need to understand that and not judge anyone..
Which hopefully will come soon. I really hope so.. :huggle:

I agree too, I think I am an atheist That and not very Christian, Christians are closed minded MOST, but do not judge without knowing, not generalize. Well, the important thing here is acceptance, love giving and Receiving. :heart:

I think so as well.
I think I might be an atheist as well. Even though I have friends who are Christian and are really wonderful people. And I'm happy for that. I still love them regardless. I agree. :) :huggle:
