"So Gaga For Equality"

I had stopped writing for a while and just recently got back into the swing of things, this poem being the first of the newer ones. I do not try to hide the fact that I am obsessed with pop icon Lady Gaga, she is one of my idols for many reasons. Gaga is the inspiration behind this poem, you could say I sampled a few titles of her songs and incorporated them into the piece. The pop star stands up for equal rights for the LGBT community and that is exactly what this poem is talking about. Inspiration is key in my writing and this was inspired by many things important in y life. Hope you enjoy it!

I will be happy
'So Happy I Could Die'
When I get the right
To show my love for a guy

With my 'Brown Eyes'
I am just the same
As anyone else
Who plays this 'LoveGame'

I do not want to
Put on my 'Poker Face'
When I hold one's hand
In a public place

I want to 'Just Dance'
Without a single care
'No Way' will I stop
Until I get what's fair

It leaves me 'Speechless'
To see how some act
To view me as a 'Monster'
When that's far from fact

If we want a 'Bad Romance'
Then that is our choice
We are original
We have our own voice

We are just people
We are not the news
So call off the 'Paparazzi'
Cuz we have our own views

To not move forward
Is like a 'Dance In The Dark'
We are no different
No distinguishing mark

I will stick by
My own philosophy
I have found 'The Fame'
In total equality

To be viewed as equal
That will come one day
I won't change who I am
Cuz I was 'Born This Way'
