leelah alcorn.

suits and ties
how time flies
my mother cries.

self-presentation
essential, for
self-preservation
how do I stress
the absolute importance
of both, in this world

that demands normality
and conformity of us
when, these children inside
are screaming just to
be themselves

blue shirts, dresses in pink
blood stains a kitchen sink
generations on the brink

let us be who we are
we mean no harm
tell me, in what way
do our appearances
threaten the balance
of society's composure

shouldn't you be more concerned by
the choices we make
our character traits
our mental states
careful,
your fear is showing
too little, too late

for those, in their truest forms
trying to stand tall,
thrown to the floor
shunned and ignored
now, no more.

no more.

try and understand,
we all reside on a spectrum
a shining variety
striving for equality
a chorus of
'why can't you just accept me'
just listen.

let us be who we are
celebrate our beating hearts
before you drive us all to harm,
force our hearts to calm

keep discriminating difference
and there will be
no one
left.

A new vision of classic in a bolder black rolex replica sale tone. They are 100% identifiable as Rolex watches of their respective models, but in black. You do want people swiss replica watches recognizing them as actual Rolex watches of course. There are then two other models that take the modification concept a bit further. First is a interesting rendition of a Rolex Explorer II in all black DLC with red color applied into replica watches uk the engraved numerals around the bezel. It has a striking military inspired look that balances well with the red replica watches colored GMT hand. It wasn't easy for Time and Gems to insert the red color into the bezel - something I understand they are continually working to perfect. Even more interesting is an all black DLC coated Rolex Submariner with a real carbon rolex replica sale fiber dial. The process involved removing the original Rolex dial, and printing a carbon fiber dial with the proper text. Next, the original hour indicators and hands are reapplied.
