Sincerity
A Poem
True sincerity is the scariest thing to hear
It hurts to have others truly know our pain
To know someone that has stood in the same rain
Is harder for our brain to comprehend than when they pretend to understand us
Overcome with a strange madness
Knowing they know our sadness

Happy Pride Month, all! I love Pride Month and everything that comes with it; the celebration, the festivities, the prestige. Pride Month is the ultimate beacon of positivity. Now sadly, there are a bunch of people in society who aren't really crazy about Pride Month and have their things to say against it. To those people, I'll only say this. There's a special place reserved for people who are against Pride Month. I'm too much of a gentleman to say it here, but I'll give a few hints: it rhymes with "bell," and I'm not talking about the city in Michigan.

"Sincerity is an openness of heart. It is found in very few people, and what we usually see is only a clever disguise to gain the trust of others." - François De La Rochefoucauld
