Tell me if you know what love is

Tell me what love is, and does it matter if it’s between two people?
Does gender matter? Does your genitalia define you?
Speak, and you shall be heard about the injustices you face because you are different.
Face persecution, be open, and people shall turn around to look at you.
“Listen to me”, you say, “Here I am to make a difference, hear me out”

“I am here to let you know what I’ve been through. All the injustices, hatred,  judgments..
All that pain has made me stronger and better and more mature.
I am tired of all your hatred, judgment, harm towards people like me.
Hear me out, for once, and see what’s it like to be me.”

“You beat me up everyday, spit on my face, spread lies about me, yet you keep laughing.
You do many things to give me a bad name, yet you claim to be good.
You spread propaganda about me, yet you still preach that you are good.
You are causing torment and depression and thoughts of suicide to people like me,
and yet, here you are preaching love and acceptance when you cannot even accept people like me”.

“So, what is gonna be hypocrite? Seems like you’re not going to budge out of that shell of bigotry and hate anytime soon, but don’t worry, I’ll be waiting.
I will be here everyday as you keep throwing hate my way, and maybe even kill some people like me,
but don’t you keep preaching about love if all you cause is anguish, self-loathing, and depression to people like me.
We are people too, capable of loving, just like you, and want the best for us, just the same as you.
We are not on earth to ruin anybody’s life, and we were not here to invade yours.
We want to live a happy life, and get married, yet you keep intruding in our lives and shove your beliefs down our throats.”

“If that is what you call love, then I do not want love. Love is not hate, anguish, self-loathing, depression, or cause of suicidal thoughts.
Love is acceptance, love is giving, love completes a person.
Love does not persecute or cherry pick who is loved and who is hated.
Love is above all that is man and all that emotions that we feel.
Love is unconditional and does not look at any gender or sexual orientation.
Love is love. Love is love. Not mixed with hate. Forever and ever.
Because if that is so, then, that is man’s greatest irony”.

So tell me what love is, is it only between a man and a woman?
Is love conditional and picky?
Does love only exist really to people who are not different?
Love is love. It does not have any gender bias.
Love is love. Forevermore. Never ending.

Blast from the Past: "I need to let this out. Damn you heart for feeling this."

This was something I wrote a while back about a same sex couple who broke up because of religion. . Here it is.

“I need to let this out. Damn you heart for feeling this.”

One of those emo days I’m having.

Wedding bells is what I’m told you’re about to hear
Not too long ago you wanted to be with me
Yet now you’re off to marry somebody
What’s the rush?
Why the change?

I figured, you chose this. You’re life, not mine.
I dreamed you and I were gonna be together, but I guess not.
Oh well, your life. Not mine.

I am okay where I am, although at times I wish you’re still here with me.
But ya know, my life is great! I have freedom. I wish I can share this with you.
But here you are, entering a lifelong commitment with somebody.
Why in a rush? Is it because you were with another female?
That now you want to marry a guy to validate yourself as a “straight” person?

Bulls**t.

Using religion as a reason? Look at your life. Stop. For once, know by learning instead of doing what people tell you.

Getting married early in such a rush, most likely, you’re gonna have kids early too if you keep up at this pace.

It’s your life. Not mine.
