April Fool: Hari Ulangtahun Pembunuhan Kejam Umat Islam di Granada

Bulan Mac telahpun berlalu beberapa jam yang lepas. Bulan April kini menjelma. Terdapat suatu kebiasaan jahiliyah yang biasa kita alami pada tarikh 1 April atau lebih dikenali sebagai hari ‘April Fool’. Apakah sebenarnya ‘April Fool’ itu? April Fool adalah suatu hari seseorang dibolehkan untuk menipu atau membohongi orang lain. Tetapi sebagai seorang yang beragama Islam ada sesuatu yang patut kita ketahui berkenaan ‘April Fool’ ini.


Sejarah April Fool

Sebenarnya April Fool adalah perayaan hari kemenangan ke atas pembunuhan ribuan umat Islam di Sepanyol oleh tentera salib yang dilakukan melalui penipuan. Oleh sebab itulah mereka merayakan April Fool dengan cara membenarkan penipuan dan pembohongan meskipun ia dikaburi dengan alasan kononnya ia hanya sekadar suatu hiburan atau gurauan semata-mata.

Kebiasaannya orang akan mengatakan bahawa April Fool (yang hanya berlaku pada 1 April) adalah hari kita boleh menipu kawan, orang-orang tua, saudara-mara atau sesiapa sahaja. Mangsa gurauan itu pula tidak boleh marah atau beremosi apabila sedar bahawa dirinya telah menjadi sasaran April Fool. Biasanya si mangsa, jika sudah sedar terkena April Fool, maka dirinya juga akan ketawa bersama-sama atau hanya sekadar merasa ‘bengang’ bukannya betul-betul marah.

Walaupun ia tidaklah sehebat perayaan tahun baru atau Valentine’s Day, budaya April Fool akhir-akhir ini telah menunjukkan kecenderungan yang semakin membumi ke dalam masyarakat kini terutamanya di kalangan anak-anak muda. Tidak mustahil jika pada masa mendatang ia akan merebak ke masyarakat kampung pula. Amat mengharukan, mengapakah kita dengan sangat mudah terikut-ikut budaya Barat ini tanpa mengkaji dengan akal yang kritis terlebih dahulu. Apakah ianya budaya yang baik ataupun tidak, atau adakah ia bermanfaat atau sebaliknya?

Perayaan April Fool bermula daripada suatu tragedi besar yang sangat menyedihkan dan memilukan. Perayaan April Fool atau dikenali sebagai The April’s Fool Day, bermula daripada suatu episod sejarah tragedi besar yang menimpa kaum Muslimin di Sepanyol pada tahun 1487 Masihi bersamaan tahun 892 Hijrah.

Sejak Sepanyol dibebaskan oleh Islam pada abad ke-8 Masihi oleh Amirul Jihad, Thariq bin Ziyad, Sepanyol beransur-ansur membangun menjadi negeri yang makmur. Tentera-tentera Islam bukan hanya berhenti di Sepanyol, malah terus-menerus melakukan pembebasan di kawasan-kawasan pedalaman Perancis. Perancis Selatan sangat mudah dibebaskan. Kota Carcassone, Nimes, Bordeaux, Lyon, Poitou, Tours dan kawasan-kawasan yang lain telah dibebaskan oleh Islam. Walaupun tentera Islam kuat, pasukan Islam masih memberi peluang kepada suku Goth dan Navaro di daerah yang berada di sebelah barat di kawasan pergunungan. Sesungguhnya Islam telah menebarkan kemakmuran di Sepanyol.

Oleh kerana sikap para penguasa Islam yang begitu mulia dan rendah hati, ramai orang Sepanyol yang akhirnya menganut agama Islam dengan kerelaan mereka sendiri. Umat Islam Sepanyol bukan sahaja beragama Islam, malah bersungguh-sungguh mempraktikkan cara hidup Islam. Bukan sekadar membaca Al-Qur’an, bahkan bertingkah-laku berdasarkan Al-Qur’an. Mereka sentiasa mengatakan ‘tidak’ untuk arak, pergaulan bebas dan semua perkara yang dilarang oleh Islam. Keadaan yang harmoni ini berlangsung selama hampir 6 abad. Subhanallah!

Namun demikian, selama tempoh itu juga, golongan kafir yang masih berada di sekeliling Sepanyol terus berusaha untuk menghancurkan Islam dalam negara Sepanyol tanpa mengenal letih dan jemu. Malangnya, ikhtiar mereka kerap berakhir dengan kegagalan. Oleh itu dititipkan sejumlah detektif untuk memerhati kelemahan umat Islam di Sepanyol.

Akhirnya mereka menemui cara untuk menakluki Islam, iaitu dengan melemahkan iman mereka melalui serangan pemikiran dan budaya. Maka dalam diam mereka mula menyeludup masuk minuman keras dan rokok secara percuma ke dalam wilayah Sepanyol. Muzik-muzik dipersembahkan bagi melalaikan para pemuda Islam Sepanyol agar lebih suka menyanyi dan menari daripada membaca Al Qur’an. Mereka juga mengirim beberapa ulama’ palsu untuk meniupkan idea perpecahan ke dalam tubuh umat Islam di Sepanyol. Lama-kelamaan usaha ini membuahkan hasil.

Akhirnya Sepanyol jatuh dan dikuasai tentera salib. Serangan tentera salib dilakukan dengan kejam tanpa mengenal perikemanusiaan. Bukan hanya tentera-tentera Islam yang dibunuh, malah termasuk masyarakat awam, wanita-wanita, anak-anak kecil dan orang-orang tua. Satu demi satu daerah di Sepanyol ditakluk oleh tentera salib.

Granada adalah daerah terakhir yang ditakluki. Penduduk Islam di Sepanyol (yang juga dikenali sebagai orang Moor) terpaksa berlindung di dalam rumah untuk menyelamatkan diri. Tentera-tentera salib terus menerus mengejar mereka. Apabila jalan-jalan dalam keadaan sunyi sepi, yang tinggal hanyalah sisa-sisa ribuan mayat yang bergelimpangan dan bermandikan darah. Tentera salib mengetahui bahawa masih ramai umat Islam di Granada yang bersembunyi di dalam rumah masing-masing. Dengan lantang tentera-tentera salib meneriakkan pengumuman bahawa umat Islam di Granada boleh keluar dari rumah mereka dengan aman dan dibenarkan untuk berlayar keluar dari Sepanyol dengan membawa barang-barang keperluan mereka.



Pada mulanya, orang-orang Islam sangsi dengan tawaran tersebut. Beberapa orang wakil Muslim diizinkan untuk melihat sendiri kapal-kapal layar yang sudah dipersiapkan di pelabuhan. Akhirnya, setelah benar-benar melihat memang wujud kapal yang disediakan buat mereka, orang-orang Islam pun segera bersiap untuk meninggalkan Granada dan belayar meninggalkan Sepanyol.

Keesokan harinya, ribuan penduduk Islam Granada keluar dari rumah mereka dengan membawa kesemua barang keperluan, berjalan beriringan menuju ke pelabuhan. Beberapa orang Islam yang tidak mempercayai pengumuman tersebut telah memilih untuk bertahan dan terus bersembunyi di rumah masing-masing. Setelah ribuan umat Islam Sepanyol berkumpul di pelabuhan, dengan pantas tentera salib menggeledah rumah-rumah yang telah ditinggalkan para penghuninya. Api dilihat menjulang-julang ke angkasa setelah mereka membakar rumah-rumah tersebut bersama-sama dengan orang-orang Islam yang masih bersembunyi di dalamnya. Allahuakbar!

Ribuan umat Islam yang lain terkandas di pelabuhan dan hanya mampu tergamam apabila melihat tentera salib membakar pula kapal-kapal yang dikatakan akan mengangkut mereka keluar dari Sepanyol. Kapal-kapal tersebut dengan cepat tenggelam ke dalam lautan. Umat Islam tidak dapat melakukan apa-apa kerana tidak mempunyai sebarang senjata. Mereka juga kebanyakannya terdiri daripada perempuan-perempuan dan anak-anak yang masih kecil. Tentara salib telah mengepung mereka dengan pedang yang terhunus.

Dengan satu teriakan arahan dari pemimpin mereka, ribuan tentera salib segera membunuh umat Islam Sepanyol tanpa rasa belas kasihan. Jeritan, tangisan dan takbir memecah suasana. Seluruh kaum Muslimin Sepanyol di pelabuhan tersebut habis dibunuh dengan kejam. Mayat bergelimpangan di merata-rata tempat. Laut yang biru telah berubah menjadi merah kehitaman………………

Tragedi ini berlaku pada tarikh 1 April. Peristiwa inilah yang kemudiannya diperingati oleh dunia Kristian apabila tibanya 1 April sebagai April Fool (The April’s Fool Day). Pada tanggal 1 April, orang-orang dibolehkan untuk menipu orang lain. Bagi umat Kristian, April Fool merupakan hari kemenangan di atas pembunuhan ribuan umat Islam di Sepanyol oleh tentera salib melalui tipu daya. Oleh sebab itulah mereka merayakan April Fool dengan cara membolehkan penipuan dan pembohongan walaupun diselaputi dengan alasan sekadar sebagai hiburan atau gurauan semata-mata.

Bagi umat Islam, April Fool merupakan tragedi yang sangat menyedihkan. Hari tersebut ribuan saudara seiman kita disembelih dan dibunuh oleh tentera salib di Granada, Sepanyol. Oleh sebab itu, adalah tidak patut bagi umat Islam untuk turut serta dalam merayakan tradisi ini. Sesiapapun orang Islam yang turut merayakan April Fool, maka sesungguhnya dia sedang merayakan ulang tahun pembunuhan kejam ribuan saudara mereka di Granada, Sepanyol pada 5 abad yang silam.

Jadi, awasilah sekeliling anda, anak-anak anda dan diri anda sendiri daripada terkena virus jahiliah ‘April Fool’ tanpa kalian sedari.

April Fool: Anniversary Day massacre Violent Muslims in Granada 


March has already passed a few hours ago. Now appeared in April. There is a common habit of ignorance we experience at the date of 1 April, or better known as a day of 'April Fool'. What exactly is 'April Fool' is? April Fool is the one day a person is allowed to cheat or lie to others. But as a Muslim is something we should know the 'April Fool' is. 




History of April Fool 


April Fool is actually the celebration of victory over the murder of thousands of Muslims in Spain by the crusaders through fraud. That's why they celebrate April Fool by allowing fraud and lying on the ground even though it supposedly obscured it is simply an entertainment or a mere joke. 


Normally people would say that April Fool (which only occurs on 1 April) is the day we can cheat a friend, old people, relatives or anyone else. Victims of jokes that are not to be angry or emotional when he realized that was the target of April Fool. Usually the victim, if it is aware of April Fool hit, then he will be laughing together or just to feel 'wide-open' is not really angry. 


Although it is not as good as new year celebration or Valentine's Day, April Fool culture lately been showing a tendency of getting grounded in today's society, especially among young children. It is possible if in the future it will spread to other villagers as well. Very moving, why we are ending up with a very easy-follow the Western culture is no study with a critical mind first. Is it a good culture or not, or whether it was helpful or not? 


Celebration of April Fool start of a great tragedy that is very sad and heartbreaking. Celebration of April Fool otherwise known as the April's Fool Day, from an episode of great historical tragedy that befell the Muslims in Spain in 1487 AD equivalent of 892 AH. 


Since the release of Muslim Spain in the 8th century AD by the Commander of the Jihad, Thariq bin Ziyad, Spain gradually developed into a prosperous country. Muslim armies not only stops in Spain, but also strive to do the release in the rural areas of France. Southern France is easily released. City of Carcassone, Nimes, Bordeaux, Lyon, Poitou, Tours and other areas have been freed by the Muslims. Despite a strong Islamic army, the Islamic forces are still giving and Navaro Gothic quarter in the district in the west of the mountains. Indeed Islam has been spreading the wealth in Spain. 


Since the attitude of Islamic rulers are so generous and humble, many Spaniards who eventually embraced Islam with their own consent. Spanish Muslims are not only Muslims, but hard to practice the Islamic way of life. Not just reading the Qur'an, even freakish-conduct through the Qur'an. They always say 'no' to alcohol, promiscuity and all the things forbidden by Islam. Harmonious situation lasted for almost six centuries. Praise be to God! 


However, during that period also, the heathen that are still around Spain continues to destroy Islam in Spain without knowing the tired and weary. Unfortunately, their efforts often ended in failure. Therefore deposited a number of detectives to observe the weakness of Muslims in Spain. 


Finally they found a way to conquer Islam, which to weaken their faith in an attack thought and culture. So in silence they began to smuggle liquor and cigarettes for free on the territory of Spain. Music performed for the neglect of the young Muslim Spain to sing and dance rather than reading the Qur'an. They also sent a few scholars to blow a false idea to split the body of Muslims in Spain. Eventually this effort to fruition. 


Spain finally dropped and dominated the Crusaders. Crusader attack carried out without knowing the brutal inhuman. Not only the armies of Islam were killed, but also civil society, women, small children and old people. One by one region in Spain conquered by the crusaders. 


Granada was the last area that was conquered. Muslims in Spain (also known as the Moors) had to take refuge in the house to save himself. Crusaders continue to pursue them. When the roads in the state of desolation, the left is the remains of thousands of prostrate and bathed in blood. The crusaders know that there are many Muslims in Granada are hiding in their homes. With a loud shout crusaders announcement that the Muslims in Granada can be out of their homes in peace and be allowed to sail out of Spain to bring the goods to their needs. 






At first, the Muslims are skeptical about the offer. Several Muslim representatives were allowed to see the ships sailing in the harbor has been prepared. Finally, after actually seeing the ship is there available to them, the Muslims were soon ready to leave Granada and sailed to leave Spain. 


The next day, thousands of Muslims in Granada from their homes along with all essential items, go hand in hand towards the port. Some Muslims believe that no announcement has been chosen to survive and continue to hide in their homes. After thousands of Muslims gathered at the port of Spain, the crusader quickly search the homes of its inhabitants have left. Seen blazing fire into the air after they burned the houses, together with those Muslims who are still hiding in it. Allahuakbar! 


Thousands of other Muslims who were stranded at the port and can only stunned to see the crusaders burn the ships that were supposed to transport them out of Spain. The ships quickly sank into the ocean. Muslims can not do anything because do not have any weapons. They are mainly women and children are still small. Crusaders were besieging them with a drawn sword. 


With a cry of command from their leader, thousands of crusaders kill Muslim Spain immediately without compassion. Screams, cries and interpretation of breaking up the atmosphere. All of the Spanish Muslims at the port finished brutally murdered. The body lay sprawled on everywhere. The blue sea has turned blackish ... ... ... ... ... ... 


This tragedy occurred on April 1. This event was later commemorated by the Christian world upon the arrival of 1 April as April Fool (The April Fool's Day). On April 1, people are allowed to deceive others. For Christians, the April Fool is a victory today in the murder of thousands of Muslims in Spain by the crusaders through deception. That's why they celebrate April Fool by allowing fraud and lying on the ground is covered though merely as entertainment or mere joke. 


For Muslims, the April Fool is a very sad tragedy. Day thousands of our brethren slain and murdered by the crusaders in Granada, Spain. Therefore, it is not proper for Muslims to participate in the celebration of this tradition. None of Muslims who were celebrating April Fool, indeed he was celebrating his birthday murder thousands of their brethren in Granada, Spain in the past five centuries. 


So, beware of your surroundings, your children and yourself from the virus of ignorance 'April Fool' without you realizing it.

where's the true friendship can i find..??

Friends are friends forever together 'till the end. You promised me that you would always be my friend. One day something changed I'm not sure what it was. I lost you on that day and the reason was because it was a late dark night and we had a stupid fight. And for some reason, I don't know why, we couldn't make it right.

We went our separate ways. This went on for days and days. I made new friends and you made yours, but that hole in my heart could not be filled for that hole was only yours. Times got really tough, my road of life was, oh, so rough. I needed friends, not the kind you see from day to day,                    but the kind that will always and forever stay. As we walk along our path of life, We meet people every day, Most are simply met by chance, But some are sent our way. These become the special friends Whose bond we can’t explain, The ones who understand us And share our joy and pain. Their love contains no boundaries, So even when apart, Their presence still embraces us With a warmth felt in the heart. This love becomes a passageway Where even the miles disappear, And the special friends life sends our way Remain forever near.

I Wish I Could...

I wish I never asked you
I wish I didn’t wait for a reply
I wish there was something that I could do
To help me not cry
I lost you as a friend
Which I wish that in time it can maybe mend
I thought you might have liked me
I thought you really did see
That there really could have bee something there
Something more than just another teen
There’s someone here to say “I love you.”

The Mistake I Made..

I was confused inside
Not knowing what I wanted out of life
I was wrong in the choice I made
Wish I could take back the hurtful things said

I should have listened to me
Not the stupid people talking
I should have known myself
Before opening the door and walking

I now I miss you more then I thought
And I know we’re still close friends
But in a way, that hurts even more
Because when I see you all I want to do is kiss you

I tried pleading to get you back
But all you said was no
You told me you need more time
But how long will that drag on?

I realize I hurt you
And you probably want other girls
But please don’t forget the one
Who still wants your heart to be hers

Though I know I messed up too bad
And I just have to accept that
I still wish you could call me “baby”
And talk to me until four in the morning

I let my pain out, though it is not fair
I brought this upon myself
And now my tears still show how much I care
Though we will never be the same

Because of me.

Tear In My Soul..

You went off when i told you not too,
You said it was the best thing,
Yeah for you,

Once he spoke he last words
Goodbye,
he made my tear,
worth nothing like i was nothing,
Why is it that the bestest memories
usually become nightmares…. why
you only left.
without even saying sorry,
I cry and cry…
and know i realize…
you left me with tear inside my soul..

I Am....

I am ...

A woman

With a full heart, hidden

Somewhere in an empty room ...

With eyes not quite of autumn's gold, and yet

Neither all of summer's green;

I wonder ...

If love is a tale made for children --

A granting of sweet dreams in their innocence --

A honey-coating to help their throats

Choke down the bitter draught ...

I hear ...

A voice that whispers warnings, half-formed,

Bodiless as hope, until I swear I cannot draw

Another breath unless this spectre be unmasked,

His lies mangled ‘neath my righteous tread;

I see ...

A woman, proud, uncompromising,

Diaphanous as air -- less, even, than the tears

That fall in desolation about her weary feet,

Salt poison pooled upon the withered ground ...

I want ...

A measure of quietude, a certain silence,

The echo of alone which heals me of dreaming,

The nothing that stills the wanting,

The numb, the cold that laughs at pain;

I am

A woman,

hidden ...

I pretend ...

That I can live forever -- that Time

Has no puissance but that which I afford Him --

And so, I can wait, I can be happy tomorrow,

Sleep is for the dead; but its ghosts haunt my waking ...

I feel ...

Too much -- too deeply to be directionless,

Too real for imagining, and yet the familiar eyes

Hold nothing of recognition -- only my reflection --

A meeting of shadows in sunlit glass;

I touch ...

The downy wings of hope, in wonder,

In reverence, in need, in hunger;

Alas, it burns my fingers as a flame,

A sacrilege, self-defined ...

I worry ...

That I am alone; that in my longing

I have forsaken all -- but oh, what reward,

What smile divine should light the path to freedom --

And how can I but heed the siren's call?

I cry ...

For having too much, for fear of bursting,

And then, when by the pouring of my soul

I lie, a vessel emptied, I cry again

For what was had, and lost;

I am

A woman,

empty ...

I understand

That life is what you make it,

That sometimes, the coat of many colors

That marks your triumphs brightly, blends only

To loneliest of grey ...

I say

That we are made by life, shaped,

Broken, perhaps -- unmade and voided --

But always, the core of us remains, waiting

With only faith, with trust, to be reborn;

I dream

Of bluest waters, reaching

With unnatural hands toward the faded sky,

Of dolphins that wander in seas without limits,

Carrying me water-breathing past corals and clouds ...

I try ...

To lead by example, knowing

That merely the telling holds no power;

A gift of giving is merely a day, while

A gift of knowing spans forever;

I hope ...

That my darkness holds you gently,

That pain is halved by sharing, that feeling

Wields nothing past the words it summons,

Except that it touch you with only healing ...

I am

A woman,

only.

He Could Feel Like I Feel..How Love Hurt....

You told me that you loved me, you told me that you always will. Then one
night as I sit home waiting for you to call I heard that you didn't want me
and that you went out with your old girlfriend. As I heard this the tears
just wouldn't stop falling. Then you called me and I asked you about and you
started to yell at me. As you yelled I could feel my heart break into.


To me it was so perfect, to me it was going fine, i never thought i'd lose you i thought you'd always be mine.How come i never noticed, how come i couldn't see, that you were changing your mind, the way you felt about me.We could of worked it out, wecould of talked it through, but you left it so long, there was only one thing you could do. You tried to tell me nicely, you asked me if i'd cry, but my heart just tore apart, as i let out a sigh. We hugged for the last time, and i didn't wanna let go, but i finally pulled away as i told myself no! i held i n my tears i began to walk away, when people asked what happened, i had nothing else to say, except "ï wanna be alone, and i don't wanna talk," so i went around the corner, and went for a little walk. i decided to sit down, as i felt my eyes go red, i gazed at the floor, in my hands i held my head. The tears poured down my face, as i asked myself why,why did it happen, why did he lie. I didn't wanna believe it, yet i knew it was so true, that we were definatly over, that you and i wre through, I still can't believe, you expected me to guess, when i had no idea, i was totally clueless!....

Tell him that I hate him
Tell him that I love someone new
Tell him that I don't need him anymore
Tell him that he is nothing for me
But please....
Don't tell him that I cried when I said all that. 

I have written this story in video for a boy I knew. He loved me and never said anything bad about me. Sometimes I despited him, took him for granted.. But I always loved him. I think he knew that. I still do love him. It's just I miss him so much, wishing him back.

-When I wrote this I didn't cry. No, I closed my eyes and in one quick sigh- smiled. 

"He brought you something special when he came here, didn't he? That's what you hold onto. That's how you keep him alive."
Cover my eyes
Cover my ears
Tell me these words are a lie
It cant be true
That I'm losing you
The sun cannot fall from the sky

Can you hear heaven cry
Tears of an angel
Tears of aaaaaaaa...
Tears of an angel
Tears of an angel.

Stop every clock
Stars are in shock
The river will flow to the sea
I wont let you fly
I wont say goodbye
I wont let you slip away from me

Can you hear heaven cry
Tears of an angel
Tears of aaaaaaaa...
Tears of an angel
Tears of an angel.

So hold on
Be strong
Everyday on we'll go
I'm here, dont you fear

Little one dont let go
Dont let go
Dont let go

Cover my eyes
Cover my ears
Tell me these words are a lie

My Heart is Broken..

My heart is broken. Trust me, thats not just expression, I felt it, every single bit breaking from whole. I still love him. Its true, that first love, its true love, dont you ever let it go. Fight for it, even if it seems pointless. Ill never give up. Tia, I love you, and always will. Until dying days come. And even in death, forever urs.


I so need him. God help me.
..will love him forever and not a day less..


***** saw this on youtube and he doesnt wanna look at me anymore. Ive fought all my friends blindly for him.


How is it possible that my heart beats for him, and hims beats against me?
How is it possible that I still remember and he doesn't even care?
Memory on ***** is slowly faddeing tho, but remains long enough to hurt. I wish it all could go away

Im Miss and Missing You Gay Friend Mirko Otina..

Why I want to be friends with my ex-friend again though he uses for his hatred?

I had a friend who had some mental problems and no I could stand it anymore so I said I did not want to be friends. Now I feel bad that I said all these things mean to her. Also my best friend goes out with her and I feel a bit excluded, jealous. I miss her friend and I still do not know why.

Maybe should accept what is and be friends again. No doubt you would feel better. Alone just do not hang too. Everything would work itself and things would be more harmonious. Good luck!

Im Gay Person.. ~ mirko otina ~

My name is Mirko Otina, I am 16 years old and live in Italy, Milan. my parents were bad people so I was removed from them and placed in foster care. I've grown up my whole life taking one step forward two steps back. but now with my realizations and friends things are starting to pick up. that's my life really not much into it so far but I'm sure there will be a few more chapters. thank you.

I once loved one man, he took my only heart
and right there in front of me, he ripped it apart
I know he didn't mean to, and the fault is mine to blame
but the guilt and pain remains all the same
but now I understand, why he ran away
now I understand why he didn't stay
he was afraid to love, and afraid to take a chance
he was afraid to leave and make another stance
he was afraid to make his mark on societies wall
he was afraid to take a leap, as he could fall
he would have rather stayed inside that rotting jail
he rather stay with society, even though I paid bail
he made his mind and stayed with society
even though he had his chance to be free
so now as I sit outside societies dream
I linger like a nightmare, making people scream
they say its just a phase, that I'll get over it soon
they say its a disease, like the werewolf and the moon
but deep down in my heart, I know it isn't so
because I have to be strong, so I can show
people like the one man who threw me in a bin
that no matter how hard they try, we will never give in!
cause what's the point of hurting us? so we can feel bad?
so we can understand what its like to be sad?
well we already know just how it feels
cause it is so hard for us to reveal
that we like the same sex, and who really gives a damn?
goes in the end we all still go all cold and clam
so who cares if I'm gay! I am proud to be
because in my world I take it as a victory
that I can make a choice and stand from the rest
be an individual and try my best
and kids at school may laugh at me and call nasty names
but you know what? it doesn't matter its all a game!
cause later on in life they will suddenly see
that the reason I was gay, was because it was me
so go on a call out names and raise your heads so high
but remember who I am, just before you die
remember that I was strong and managed to pull through
and remember that if I can do it, then so can you
so today I stand and say that I am proud to be gay
and if I had a choice... I'd have it no other way!
