I don’t normally share any creative pieces on this blog and I feel that might change. Today I was bullied by someone who decided to tell me I was ugly.  Instead of getting upset I channeled it into something else; a poem. I can be a lot of things, but from the bully’s of my […]

I remember when I first found out a friend of mine was gay. I thought nothing of it at all. He was my friend and I didn’t care who he loved as long as he was happy . When I found out homophobia existed I was confused. How could anyone hate anyone else for something […]
