JUST BEING

Preface

This poem is dedicated to all the beings that have been living under the constant distress of being “different” in this ever judging society with no credibility of its own.
Not being born as a "straight" or if i may say - being born as a gay or lesbian is as natural as
that only a female can give a birth to new life not a man.

I got into writing on this particular topic, for a very dear friend told me to write something meaningful.

I started writing about it as a fun way of expressing a different feeling, however, the more I read and understood about the agony that the gay people have to go through and the constant judging of “others”,who themselves are a victim of this “arrogant” society, the more I felt closer to the saying
 “All you need is Love”.

I've written this poem from the perspective of a being who gets"normally" attracted towards the same sex.

Just Being

From morning to evening, she fights with herself,

She fights with that she never asked for but born with,

She demands to know, how is she different from them?

For she only has different emotions than others have.

She wonders what love looks like,

For it is difficult to explain.

They seem to justify it through gender,

Moreover, the marketplace is full of its venders.

Society Condemns her true emotions,

She wonders what her offering was during her creation.

Everyone tells her to hide her sexuality,

For it would be difficult to live under the constant scrutiny.

She is devoid of her right to feel free,

Caress her feelings and love thee.

There are others like her who still suppress the inclination,

She wonders what is anybody's offering in their creation.

Life seems to live on a bit,

Whenever she sees a loving pair dares to admit.

Love is a feeling with no gender of its own,

Why does she need to prove something to the world with no parameters of its own?

Now that she has spent her life in shadows,

telling not an iota and beating through the gallows.

She sees twilight of hope and equality,

For she sees beings with eyes laid on a beautiful destiny.
