Not always a choice!
Sexual orientation is not a choice
That people just decide to voice
It is all a matter of how one feels
Who arouses you, who appeals
To yourself, you must submit
Not always easy to admit
Social and peer pressure felt
Retributions, might be dealt
Some accept, some feel strange
And wish that they could change
But inside; the way you feel
Can’t be changed, just by zeal
We are all born a certain way
Feelings we cannot betray
If we try to contradict
Forever we’ll be in conflict
Embrace who and what you are
Don’t shy away; grab that star
You do; what you have to do
To let peace and happiness come through
