For too long I have taken it, but I can only bend so far without breaking. Every time I get hope that you have cast out your old ways of thinking and embraced love and acceptance, you slap me in the face with your blinding hatred and ignorance unknowingly destroying my hope for you and society as a whole. Too many times I have shed tears for you and for what? You don't care and this I know, but still, I cry because I still have hope but its fading and the more it fades the more nights I find myself crying for your love and acceptance but feel my tears are in vain. I didn't choose to be this way, but I am choosing to live my life this way. I can't lie to myself. I am who I am whether you like it or not, but I still have hope meaning I will continue to shed tears in vain.
