My name is Alexander. I must say now that if you are a homophobe ((one who is against gay people or thinks being gay is wrong)) leave now because I am a homosexual ((for those to young or innocent to understand that, it means that I am gay)), thank you very much. My reason for writing poetry is because it is a way to vent my feelings, feelings that many others do not, or would not understand. Another reason is because it is a way to write down some of the things that have happened in my life.
