    To Be A Boy (A.K.A story of my life)

    To bind is to hide
    In this shell that is no more mine

    To scream and to run
    Is simply no more fun

    I hide my curves
    To stifle my nerves

    For my family shale never now
    The number of cuts still grows

    To me the one
    I can simply never shun

    So for her I'm me
    To simple reach the innocent glee

    For this is me
    The girl called a he

    I must say you are truly the definition of what this website is, you just exposed yourself, and in that my dear breathe its liberation and all that that entails for in it you will find life. Your shell is boldness, and definition, and greatness, don't ever run from it my dear. Even when ppl don't understand you that's ok too, becasue that will only leave room for someone who really and truly does. Becasue when you are being yourself, and I mean truly being yourself, every answer that you need in this life will be answered. Such great work Love Blvd

    The unkowing and denial converge. Cutting serves none. God knew you before you knew of Him. Love will prevail. Love others as you would yourself. The world does not need another tragedy. Find your gift and share it. Deny your flesh and know what is true. These are my hopes (and prayers for you). I have made the mistake of ascribing certain thoughts to authors before, but felt that in any case, my reponse to the thoughts presented wer apropos. Please take no offense if this is the case.

    is this the same god that said a man shal not love another man and a woman not another woman. if we were built in gods image then why are we wrong when we tell the world of our own image. if people can vote on gay rights can we vote on strait rights. if gay marrige is a threat to straight marrige is it because you our afraid that others will be happyer then you. we don't need you freedom for the poeple(unless your anythinbg but a straight white man who goes to church and follows the lies). we love and get loved back that is all tha matters so keep your unhappy marrage and hate we will keep our love and have enough to make the world love again. if the fetus you save was gay would you still fight for its rights?

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
