My dream

If you were to ever look at me, what would you really  see?

I am not a typical person. I have a dream.

Society tells you to be a perfect person inside and out, but they need to see who we are.

Society tells you not to be gay or atheist.

My dream, is to make you see that you are not alone in the fight for acceptance.

Society will put you down, but the real fight is to love yourself.

Tell the people putting you down to piss off, because you love you.

You need no recognition of who you are to be happy.

Look in the mirror and say get the hell out of the way because this is me.

A true dream, a fight, for pure happiness will never end.

But it all starts with you.
