CLIFF .b1

Damn -- I'm crying again
Why didn't I turn
And smile when you held my hand
In front of everybody
I was scared
My mom was standing right beside me
I couldn't look at you
But I couldn't take my hand away either
I want to go back to that place

And ask for you
For once -- take a chance
But I can't'
Cause I know myself
For if I was to look into your eyes
And see possibilities
I'll lose what I know
If your eyes said yes
I'd say yes
And the woman down the hall
Would not understand
The woman down the hall
Who gave me life
Who has taken care of me
I don't think she'd turn me away
But I don't know for sure
So I hide in my room
And sometimes cry
And try not to question
WHY?
======
NOTE: Cliff is her name. She's older than I am. I use to have a crush on her. I still do a little. She's one of my sheroes. The WHY is 'why is it wrong to like girls.

NOTICE BOARD

Hi SPT readers. I haven't posted anything new in several months. I don't want to post about political issues so until I'm inspired with something new or finish a story ....

Feel free to post comments about something you have read at SPT because I do like hearing from my readers even if it is just a hello. I don't put up my email address because I already get mail from people trying to sell me Viagra which goes straight to the Junk box. :) I do receive notification when someone has made a comment at SPT and I will respond as soon as I can.

The Agenda-Civil Rights

Support for the LGBT Community: While we have come a long way since the Stonewall riots in 1969, we still have a lot of work to do. Too often, the issue of LGBT rights is exploited by those seeking to divide us. But at its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans. It's about whether this nation is going to live up to its founding promise of equality by treating all its citizens with dignity and respect. Federal law should not discriminate in any way against gay and lesbian couples. ... young & old, rich & poor, democrat & republican, black white hispanic asian native american gay straight disable and not disable ... we are and always will be the United States of America. --Barack Obama, (More)
