Mainzy• Show poetry

My name is charmaine, everyone calls me char, but my nickname is mainzy. I am 20, bisexual, a bookworm, outspoken, harsh at times, an utter romantic, a clown. I love to laugh, and I love to write. In 19 years I've learned some hard lessons of life, all of which inspire everything I do. I don't always make the best of choices, but I try to follow my heart and be a good person. In my person beliefs, I believe in A god, not that of jesus christ, but just something of a higher power. I believe in freedom of speech, but wisdom in knowing when to speak and when not to.
I have ABSOLUTELY no tolerance for homophobia, it makes me mad enough to spit nails, and Yes I have become very violent when confronted with someone arrogant and homophobic. If your smart then never recite those stupid adam and steve, or ashley and eve phrases. It will get something glass or heavy chucked at your head( done this before I believe myself to be a very outgoing person,
I'm currently learning not to be so much of a recluse as I used to be , so I wont be as shy if someone say's howdy! If u need to knw anything else, just messege me





My favourite saying at the moment is: because I can!
*Life is to much drama, then again living is an art".-mainzy

This is really inspiring to me, because I've had homophobic comments thrown my way, as well as to my gay fathers,to much truth to these words.

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.



I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.



I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.



We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.



I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.



I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.



I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.



I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.



We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.



I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.



I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.



I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.



I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.



I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.



I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.



I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.



I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn’t have to always deal with society hating me.



I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.



I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.



Repost this in your journal if you believe homophobia is wrong.
only we can stop the violence, the prejudice, the insecurity, and most importantly, we are the only ones to blame. we have let these things go too far. change a person's life. try accepting them, rather than making them feel as though they were nothing, just because they are different. you can be the change, but only if you are willing to change yourself. take a chance, and be the person we all aspire to be.
