[ LGBTQ ] Embroiled
In life
people come
people go
most of them you never know
Some will get right up in your face
intent upon fanning fire to flaming
by calling you name upon name
embroiling you in need for strife---
heated arguments a means of
controlling what they can't
Shame. Shame! SHAME!
shouting down lifestyle choices
disagreed with;
loud opinion for the win
assuring more attention is acquired
in the bargain made when you
acquiesced to do more than merely
listen
You're
not required to argue
justify your case
or go out of your way
to defend the human race
against their ignorance
Just be yourself---
walk the path you choose;
there is nothing to lose
and everything to gain
in silent acceptance
that everyone is entitled
to voice their convictions
---and making complete
ashes of themselves
in public is Nature's way -
clears your landscape
for fresh growth
in life
people go
people come
most of them you never know
Some will Love you
as you are
