Poem About Standing Strong

Hi, I am Beau. I'm 14 and gay. I wrote this when I was tired of being pushed around. I read it to my family, saying it was a school assignment, but this is what I feel.

Can You See Me?

Published by Family Friend Poems January 2016 with permission of the Author.

Just because you don't like what I am,
Just because you don't like what I've become,
Just because you don't like me,

I will not disappear, I will not run away
I am not gonna back down,
I am not weak.

No.

I am still here, here to stand tall,
Here to stand proud in the face of
Hate, pain, and anger.

I am forever strong, forever bound with
The power of peace and pride,
And no one can tear me down.
