Mayuki: Same Love
I was sitting at the bus stop with my ear buds in listening to music. There was a song that I started to listen to recently that seemed to hit me just right.
"When I was in the 3rd grade
I thought that I was gay
Cause I could draw, my uncle was
And I kept my room straight
I told my mom, tears rushing down my face
She's like, "Ben you've loved girls since before pre-K"
Trippin', yeah, I guess she had a point, didn't she
A bunch of stereotypes all in my head
I remember doing the math like
"Yeah, I'm good in little league"
The bus came and I got on. I sat in the back and watched as other kids came on with their friends. They were all smiling and laughing talking about what they did last night or what they're gonna do. It's the typical thing that most high school girls do. However I noticed one of the girls sitting to the side watching them like me. She had the same look in her eyes and the same facial expression. I wonder if she was thinking the same thing as me. I leaned back and focused on my music once again.
"A pre-conceived idea of what it all meant
For those who like the same sex had the characteristics
The right-wing conservatives think its a decision
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion
Man-made, rewiring of a pre-disposition
Playing God
Ahh nah, here we go
America the brave
Still fears what we don't know
And God loves all His children
And somehow forgotten
But we paraphrase a book written
3,500 hundred years ago
I don't know"
We arrive at school and I go to class. I sit in the back where I belong away from the others and watch as life goes on without me. Everyone lives out their purpose and nothing more nothing less. Instead of getting involved myself I prefer to sit back and watch. People like me don't fit in well so we often get casted aside anyways but hey who cares? I'm me and those who have a problem with it can deal with it somewhere else. A part of the song repeated in my head over and over.
"And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love
She keeps me warm"
After class I was invited to a party. I didn't really want to go but my mom wanted me to. She said maybe I'll get lucky and meet a nice boy to take home. That's what she thinks. Like I'm actually into guys? Please I've hated them since I was young. I couldn't tell her that though because if I did she probably wouldn't love me. That is why I choose to stay out of life. To stay to the side. Because people don't like people like me. They see me as something that doesn't belong and because of that we get pushed away. I thought that people had the right to be who they wanted to be but I guess not. I was on my way to the party and the song still played.
"If I was gay
I would think hip-hop hates me
Have you read the YouTube comments lately
"Man that's gay"
Gets dropped on the daily
We've become so numb to what we're sayin'
Our culture founded from oppression
Yeah, we don't have acceptance for 'em
Call each other heterosexuals
Behind the keys of a message board
A word rooted in hate
Yet our genre still ignores it
Gay is synonymous with the lesser
It's the same hate that's caused wars from religion
Gender to skin color
Complexion of your pigment
The same fight that lead people to walk-outs and sit-ins"
Like most parties everyone is dancing with someone they hooked up with. Then there's me standing in the middle with no one. I stand there as the lights flash and the music flares and I think to myself, "why am I here?" I don't understand why I'm here or what I'm doing. Why I was put on this Earth who knows but it must mean something right? I stand there watching all the other couples dance and they all stare at me making mean comments about me that I could really care less about. I was ready to just lose it and break free. However that isn't something I usually do that just isn't me. I turn up the volume on my music and let the sound fill my ears.
"Human rights for everybody
There is no difference
Live on! And be yourself!
When I was in church
They taught me something else
If you preach hate at the service
Those words aren't anointed
And that Holy Water
That you soak in
Has been poisoned
When everyone else
Is more comfortable
Remaining voiceless
Rather than fighting for humans
That have had their rights stolen
I might not be the same
But that's not important
No freedom 'til we're equal
Damn right I support it"
As the trombone solo played I saw the same girl from before. She sat there in a chair looking alone and lost. She had the same look as me like before. She questions why she came and why she was here. Why god had put her on this Earth and what is her point in existence. Why she can't be herself and express herself truly. All these things were running trough her head and how could I tell? Well I could just feel it. My gaze must have drifted over to her because she looked over and saw me. We stared at each other for a long time and neither one of us moved. There was a point in the song that played in my head that fit the situation so well.
"I don't know"
I didn't know what to do. Whether to move forward or pull back. Should I step up and do something for once or retreat back into the normal world. Do I continue hiding or come out into the light? I thought about it for awhile and then with all my might I walked forward and grabbed the girl's hand. I pulled her up and led her to the center of the dance floor. At that time the song played a part that made my heart race and my spirit rise.
"We press play
Don't press pause
Progress, march on!
With a veil over our eyes
We turn our back on the cause
'Till the day
That my uncles can be united by law
Kids are walkin' around the hallway
Plagued by pain in their heart
A world so hateful
Someone would rather die
Than be who they are
And a certificate on paper
Isn't gonna solve it all
But it's a damn good place to start
No law's gonna change us
We have to change us
Whatever god you believe in
We come from the same one
Strip away the fear
Underneath it's all the same love
About time that we raised up"
We danced and the people stopped. They all stared at us giving us dirty looks and making horrible comments. However neither one of us cared because we were together and nothing was going to stop us. Just because we love someone who is the same doesn't make us different. We are the same as everyone else and those who judge us haven't truly opened their eyes. The girl and I danced with one ear bud in her ear and the other in mine. Together we danced to the beat and the words,
"Love is patient, love is kind
Love is patient, love is kind"
The party ended and the next day everyone started bully us for being gay. My parents weren't happy but I told them this was who I was and that I wasn't going to change. Yuki and I were happy with the way things were. We were happy together and we weren't going to let anyone else stop us. The school hates us, adults hate us, children hate us, society hates us but despite all that hate, we will always move past it. Love is something that people of all kinds should enjoy gay or straight. It's something we all have the right to experience even if it's wrong. We are who we are and even if it's wrong, we all have the same love.
