Free yourself
Give love to yourself
Be unapologetically who you are
Who are they to try and dictate who you are or suppose to be
other than yourself?
You should be treated equally regardless
and you should love who you want to love
Demand it, shout it to the sky, fight for it if you must 
You don’t owe it to anyone to give someone an explanation 
You don’t have to feel embarrassed
and let it hold yourself back from Your truth
It is long overdue when it comes to spreading more peace on this earth
more equality
more acceptance
and just an abundance of love.
I promise you, there’s nothing wrong with being you.

Let love conquer hate.
