still

06/2011

yes I still see the world

through mascara tipped eyes

          I still sit silently on the ground

          and contemplate the small things

I still hold firm to epic ideas

such as true love and world peace

          I am still a hopeless romantic 

          forever stuck in this fairy tale

anime still burns my television screen

skinny jeans and etnies still fill my closet

          Even though the majority

          of today's youth has taken our lead

I still don't follow the crowd

silently cutting my own trail

           I still gender bend

           call me what you will

f****t, sissy, freak

I will still stop to smell the flowers  

           I will still jump on my trampoline

           in the pouring rain <3 <3 <3

Jump on that trapoline, Joshua. The rain will not dampen spirit such as yours. It's not easy being different, but if you are true to yourself, you will always have inner peace. Lots of empowerment in this introspective write. Just one question...what are "etnies"? I have no clue. Well written. Lydi**

perfect. I don't see anything here that would ever need improvement, and it seems so honest. There is no other way I would have written this. You have such talent :) The format it's in really adds to the presentation too :)
Wonderfully written piece :)
