my pride is that I don't compromise on my beliefs and that I'm not afraid to cut against the grain. even when it seems the whole world is against me. that's really the only thing I have to be proud of. when it counts, when the fire flies, and you are your only ally, what do you do? when I lose everything I'm fighting for, when I have nothing left to lose and yet still feel a scar, can I still stand. the answer is yes. I have God on my side, and in Him all things are possible. without being trite, who shall I fear? no one. I'm proud to not be proud, no matter what they call me. victimizer homophobe I don't care. I don't fear the blows that come with my burden. I know where I'm going. and some say I can invent impassioned speeches on the fly that too.
