Your sufferings...
Countless they are, even as I
touch each star of your birth,
longing to be accepted, to be
equal...to lay claim to that which
you were born to have as a gift
from God....Freedom, equality,
compassion and kindness,  
a caring attitude....acceptance
and more...

Your humilities...
As you stood, your cheek red,
your eyes filled with bitter yet
longing tears...Your hands,
small, soft...wanting to be held
and protected...to never be
violated...never be tricked into
a false innuendo or ploy....

Your desires...
To be, to only be just who you
are....a human being...till death
do you, do us...part...

You know, when I read this what I thought?
Well, you know I'm going to tell you...hehe

It inspired the thought of how we have no idea of a person's past life, upon meeting them, and that's another reason, why, it's so important to respect their hearts and not lie to them....taking me way way back, to all the hurts caused by the choices of others, when as a child, we so depend on adults to guide us and be our role models...then, to, it's sorely important for parents to teach their children that respect, so no one is ever bullied.

Tremendous words my friend which sparked many many visions...thank you
