Written for Year of Creativity

Prompt: I’ve never been so glad to be…

I’ve never been so glad to be gay
At least things are statring to change,
I’ve never been so glad to be straight
I don’t get hassle for the way I was born,
I’ve never been so glad to be black
When I think about the fights of the past,
I’ve never been so glad to be white
At least I’m not subconsciously judged for my colour,
I’ve never been so glad to be Christian
At least I’m not persecuted for my beliefs,
I’ve never been so glad to be Muslim
As long as I keep challenging other peoples notions,
I’ve never been so glad to be me.

My crappy attempt at poetry for National Poetry Month.
