You Don’t Have To

You don’t have to be gay to be an unconditional friend of gays (and LGBTQIA+)

You don’t have to be a Christian to love, befriended, protected Christians (Around my place, Christians are minority, and Moslems are not, so please keep your demeaning tone to yourself)

You don’t have to be promiscuous to support liberty of safe and consented sex

You don’t have to be married to know what responsibilities

You don’t have to be single to be independent and standing firmly on what you believe in


You don’t have to have partner to be in love

Neither you don’t have to be partnerless to identify loneliness and longing

You don’t have to leave to find a reason to stay

Neither you don’t have to stay if your mind screaming ‘leave’

You don’t have to be always PHYSICALLY together to cherish a person, people, with all your life

Neither you don’t have to be apart to witness yourself deemed worthless by those you have bestowed love to


Life is weird, indeed

But it doesn’t mean you are powerless to cater change about it

One can make destiny

In fact, one must write ones’ one story

The question is that how much do we dare ourselves to ask questions

To stand out, be different

To agree to disagree

To be loud, to be bold

One must not be like others’ demanded them to be, no matter how much meaning given to those “others”, in love, respect dedication, longing, everything

And that’s the best thing about being

We are free for a becoming
