What I want… What I need…..

I want a life in addition to the one that I’ve been given… one that I’ve fought for… one that feels lived in…

I want my heart to beat a rhythm that is music… to the ears of my loved ones… a tune that is sooo sick…

I want my mind to be moved to think thoughts that break barriers… because wisdom’s the weapon of true born warriors.

I want my spirit to fly places I never thought I could go… it’s the promise of tomorrows… tomorrow that give me hope.

I need the life that I live to have direction, to have a purpose… so when I take my last breath I’ll know it was worth it.

I need a love that will love me without pause, without measure… a wife by my side to honor and treasure.

I need my mind to be enthralled, to be cultivated… by a woman that can educate me, adore me, and keep me motivated.

I need my soul to tell a tale far and wide one heard by everyone… because it is your face I will see when I give birth to our son.

I want a life where it doesn’t matter that I love women… in a world that’s forgiving… in a world where it’s no sin.

I want my heart to play a tune… to sing a solo… because you are my music… and I am your radio.

I want my mind to dream… dreams that come to fruition… it’s the strength of our thoughts that are the best ammunition.

I want my spirit to speak directly to yours… you’re the reason I was made, you’re the one I’m handcrafted for.

I need to live like no one else has lived… for the ones who came before us… they changed the world and paved the way… therefore I must.

I need a love that will give… just as I give… forever and without ending… we are committed, stable, and solid that’s the message we are sending.

I need a mind that is open, a mind that is strong… without it I can’t fight the bigotry, can’t point out it’s wrong.

I need my soul to ‘man up’ to gather you round and pass on this memo… whether you’re Transgender, Lesbian, Gay, Bi or just plain Homo…

We matter.
