Being Colorful Is Being LGBT

A poem about LGBT individuals.

Being Colorful Is Being LGBT
http://city-sentinel.com

Red represents the fire in your eyes and your soul that allows you to continue to fight a world that does not accept you, even though they should

Orange represents the beauty that you show through your actions, and words in a world that makes you look less that beautiful.

Yellow represents that light that shines bright through you in your darkest times, and and allows you to be the light in the center of darkness.

Green represents the natural peace that you all have. The natural humility that you show even in your lowest hour, and the natural love that flows through you more than most people.

Blue represents the sorrow that you face on a day to day basis that no one sees because you keep it on the inside. It represent all the heart break, all the times that you have felt broken, and all the tears that you have cried when you did not deserve to. It also represent your ability to be a calm and a soothing spirit to many.

Purple represents the creativity and resilience that we all love about you. Your ability to show who you are and be proud of it even though it may get hard sometime.

You all are beautifully made and you are loved regardless of what other people may think. Continue to be proud in who you are and live life in a celebratory way. Though it may get tough and life may be hard, know that you have people that you can count on and will never turn their backs on you.

Happy LGBT week!

In honor of LGBT week at Eastern University, I decided to use the colors that represent LGBT to show my understanding of it and how I have seen it through the individuals that I know. I know it is not the exact meaning but it is an interpretation.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
