It's not just a flag

I may not be accepted

By majority of the mass

I may not be loved by those

That helped give me my sass

.

Just because i hold hands

With the same gender as myself

Doesn’t mean i'm less of a person

And i don't have to convince anyone else

.

To you we may be different

But we are the colors that we wave

We all share the same emotions

Whether you are straight, bi or gay

.

We always mess with colors

That’s why we wave our flag

Because they are more accepting

And look better on us in drag

.

Red is the color that aches so bad

Its what we see when words embed

As we really want it for our awesome love

But its also a represent of our blood you shed

.

Orange can bring such a warmly glow

It helps us feel happy where ever we go

The energy given out in our fabulous way

Helping us embrace our growth

.

Just like the yellow in the bars of gold

We are beautiful, strong and unique

glowing in the spotlight

With our admired physiques

.

Our balance and rebirth are there

Our patience and acceptance is seen

This color gives us significance of life

And that is our best friend Green.

.

Blue is very bold in visual and expression

The wisdom we carry and depth of our life

The confidence in our walk

And the stability that we strive.

.

Indigo brings us hope

In living in a not so hated land

The sincerity of wanting to get along

An idea that doesn’t sound so bad

.

So before you see our colors

And realize it's not JUST a flag

Each color is a representation

Of what we would like to have.
