One Amongst Us

So what does it matter if he is shy,

Or is draped in flamboyant costumes bright, Or whether his curls cascade eloquently, Like a waterfall, hiding the tales of his fights. So what if he saunters with a graceful gait, Or cries aloud and boldly expresses, Or whether his lips red with passion, Kiss a man whose love he fondly addresses. So what if in the shadows he hides, Sneered by so-called friends of man, Many a lesson up his sleeves he has;

His experience is unmatched by anyone. He is a human... just one amongst us. Fearless... more a man than many I trust. A son, a friend, a brother, a lover... My faith in whom I blindly entrust.
