Love Me by Amanda C
you can blame internet, society or the devil instead
but when it's dark my rainbow heart has always saved me from giving up
and if i die you'll say i lacked of god
but what you'll never see is what i lacked of was love
so love me
love me as much as you hate seeing my sister enjoy a kiss with a woman
love me as much as you fear i follow her steps
love me as much as it sickens you that we don't need no man
love as much as you think you love me when you hate who i became
love me fearless and strong and kind and patient
love me when i understand that love can mean no danger
love me when empathy is my priority
love me when i never let the sorrow take the best of me
love me stone cold saying you only want the best
love me straight and leave me lost in the right lines of who you want me to be
love me deadly while you make me hate the love in my veins
love me as you suffocate me with your words spoken in vain
love me when i'm as human as i'll ever be
love me when i make love with more humans just like me
love me cause you have no other choice
than accepting that love's got its own voice
love me as wild as you think my lifestyle is
love me as much as you believe you'll change me
love me, love me as much as you want
hate me, hate me and keep saying it's love
but while you judge my life and darken your heart
know that your hatred will never tear my colours apart
“I wrote this poem 2 years ago. It was written out of anger because a big part of my family was being homophobic towards me and my sister. They tried to tell us that all of their bullshit was love. I never posted it cause I know it has a lot of mistakes and it can be hard to read, I'm not even sure if it can be called a poem.”
