Rainbow flag

Pink is for sexual persuasion we think
Red is for life and it follows from pink
Orange for healing and fixing the sore
Yellow for sunshine above daily war
Green is for nature we see every day
Blue is for art and our heart as we play
Indigo for harmony this world we live in
Violet for spirit some good and some sin

Support LGTB to help millions near
What they think and they feel is never so clear
Bullied by classmates and people alike
What's happening to gays will never be right

Author's Note

A boy in my local area took his life last week as he was bullied severely by other boys because he was gay. I wrote this for him using the colours of the LGTB rainbow flag, each colour representing a different meaning. I hope you like it.

Its sad to hear of lives lost due to ignorance and fears. It points to a cause everyone should respond ... with support for the rights of individuals to believe what they do. A nice reminder.

[Imogen.E]

Thank you, I'm glad you agree with me. It's so sad that it had to end that way.

[Vidya Bacchus]

This is such a nice thing to do .People need to live and let live :)

[Imogen.E]

Yeah that is very true, I'm glad you liked this :)

This was sweet of you to write this boy this poem.
I love how you have wrote this color thing its pretty cool.
It sucks how people are bulled.
I can only imagine how much crap someone would get for being gay,or having a sex change.
The world is a cruel place and people can be very very mean.
I use to get bullied to I had low confidence was shy and quiet and I have a learning disability.
That's nothing compared to being gay, so I can't begin to imagine how much he got picked on.
It doesn't help your self esteem at all.
Its sad because gays are still the same person they have always been, most of them are quite the characters and are quiet funny.
Anyway this was a very meaningful and respectable poem.
I enjoyed the read allot.
God bless that poor boy, my heart goes out to him.

[Imogen.E]

Thanks a lot, he took a lot of bullying for a long time but for him, enough was enough, I'm glad you enjoyed reading this.

[cimmy wuv xxxooo]

your welcome:)

Something everyone should read I think. I respect you for standing up for what you believe in. Its wrong that it's taken this long and gay marriage still isn't legalized. Even if you don't agree with it, why wouldn't you want to see people happy whats the cost to you? I always wanted to write something like this but I dont know what its like and am afraid I might offend somebody.

I would give it 120/100 if I could

[Imogen.E]

Thankyou so much, fortunately in Britain, gay marriage has finally legalised gay marriage and I believe the first marriage is sometime in the next couple of months. I feel that just because I'm not gay, I should be able to stand up for the millions who are, once again, thanks :)

love that!!!! it really speaks to me.

[Imogen.E]

I'm glad you like this, I just wanted to get the importance of this message across :)

[Casey Sanchez]

well I like girls and that made me feel like someone somewhere out there actually understands and gets how i feel without even talking to me

[Imogen.E]

There is always someone out there who will understand us more than anyone else, I'm obviously a bit young to have found that someone but as an adult, I guess you just need to look hard enough to find them :)

[Casey Sanchez]

but thank you so much.

[Erik Daniel]

People should never bully people for what they feel or believe. Great write!

Well writen, portraying a very real problem, sorry to hear about the guy in your area, I'm just glad my college is a little more tolerable, great piece :)

[Imogen.E]

Thanks a lot, I'm glad you enjoyed it. The boy didn't go to my school as I go to a school a little bit away, but he was a really great guy :)

[Jackson H. Harley]

My pleasure, I found it relatable I guess :) and I bet he was :)
