i’m not afraid of dying
but i am scared of the dark
i do not fear the life i have left
as long as i still have the spark
i’m not afraid of waiting in line
but i am scared of missing out
and maybe you might hear me whine
but i’m not gonna scream and shout
i’m not afraid of being lonely
but i am scared of being alone
i’m not sitting staring blankly
at an ever silent phone
i’m not afraid of hamburgers
but i am scared of macca d’s
grease trap altar of obesity
the food equivalent of sleaze
i’m not afraid of things that go bump in the night
but i am scared some of those bumps are mine
and that’s probably why i leave on the light
because none of this will ever be fine
i’m not afraid of coming last
but i’m scared of being first
and the best of me the rest you see
just goes from bad to worse

The Evolution of LGBT Portrayal in TV and Film
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.
