For All…

for-all

This is for all the people who face each day

without family behind them

without partners beside them

without society in their corners

But still, they manage to roll up their sleeves and do the work of the day

This is for all the people who break down barriers

save countless lives

provide a smile

give encouragement

But still have no voice or rights in the skin of society

This is for all the people that

face the fight

live the life

make the sacrifice of paying with their lives,

for marriage legality

for insurance

for all the things everyone else is given as a right

as we all, LGBTQ – get denied

This is for all the soldiers in this war of equality

who refuse to be labeled

who refuse to be shut down

who refuse to be told who we can and cannot love

This is for all the teens who caved under the pressure

gave into indiscretion cause they had no one there for them

cried a million tears to add to the million rivers of

blood and sweat of those before and after them

You’re heard.

You’re respected.

You’re loved.

This is for all the LGBTQ’s

for those that love us,

revere us,

appreciate us

for who we are

for how we care

for how we go on, while society

Bruises

Kicks

Shatters

Our lives and dream

sand we continue to meet society with open arms…

despite the hate.

This is for the lonely,broken hearted

down trodden

of our family…

… reach out,

scream out- you will be heard.

This is for the people

who wake each day

and become exactly who it is that they know they are.

Be strong.

Be strong.

Be strong.

Fight on.
