People will soon realize that normal does not exist in the real word. Normal is just a figment of one's imagination and nothing more. Is all this violence and hatred really worth it? People die every day and the reasons just seem to become more asinine. It's enough that people give up their lives because two men can't agree with one another. It saddens me deeply that people will beat, torture, and even kill someone just because they like a certain gender. I hope, and even pray, that a time will come when someone doesn't have to fear persecution over the person they choose to love.","content":"I think I'm finally ready\n\nI just need to take this slow and steady\n\nReality will never bend to my will\n\nAnd my chances sometimes seem to be nil.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThough these times seem to be my darkest hours\n\nI refuse to willingly bend to their overwhelming powers\n\nSociety will never have me in a noose\n\nFor every time I will cut myself loose.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI know that I can not do this on my own\n\nHowever with the friends I've gained my strength has grown\n\nI will continue to hold my head up high\n\nI will never let them cause my hope to die.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nEven if I'm surrounded by hopelessness and despair\n\nI will never give up my place in this societal warfare\n\nWho are they to judge me for whom I kiss\n\nI guess for them ignorance is really bliss.\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
