By Sariah R. Villanueva

I know I am a gay,
I am sweet and cheerful in different ways.
I know I am loved,
Wonderfully made from above.

People may judge and dislike.
I feel and dream, we are much alike.
To be appreciated and seen.
How long could it have been?

I love being me.
I show the true me.
To be free is a gift.
My voice is to uplift.

Kindness and compassion,
Are to be in action.
To be treated with grace,
It lightens our faces.

We are all God’s made.
Our sin was paid.
He loves you and me,
I hope you accept me.
