Just Being Me

by Elsa Nora

The life I seek must be fast The speed of life makes me laugh! Death's just around the corner for a Queer like me! Well so they say all of them Freaks. Homophobia I really do detest What I am is what I do best! Like if you want, Answer! This ain't no test If you like me, "Great," then we're friends If you hate me don't make me get upset! I'm just a Dike whom nobody Straight likes Well forget you all, cause we love each other my Baby and I! You don't have to shake my hand, I'm not asking you to stare. If you don't like what you see, then get the Hell out of here! I am what I am, So please understand Even if you don't "Who really gives a damn?"

Message: 

Everyone in this life, whether remembered or unremembered by the history, is equally unique. Early on in life, I know people around me are different from others; all are created and shaped in a different mold. Thus, there is no need feeling inferior or too dependent on anyone else. You are beautiful in your own way; if others cannot recognize then it’s their loss. Just be yourself, enjoy your life and treasure the right people.

Message:                                                     

Being put to face difficulties and obstacles, people often get worried about what they have done and should have done. However, if at that brutal moment you give your best to complete the assigned tasks and excel your role then there is nothing to worry about. If you have given your all, if you have squeezed your brain for solutions then worries shall add no value as the best decision is out already.
