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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
