The Ace of Hearts

Be kind, dear souls, this is not about Pride,

where a unique orientation is often misunderstood,

kindness and understanding could do so much good.

Asexual individuals, Aces, should not have to hide.

Through a spectrum of differences, lacking sexual desire,

our path diverges from the typical sexual fire.

Let’s talk about sex, don’t shy away,

sexual orientation, as an Ace, may be new to you,

Like the spectrum of hues, love’s scope in emotion rings true.

knowledge and discourse can light up the way.

Break the shackles of silence, let’s unveil,

the mysteries surround us, let romance prevail.

Seek not assumptions, but understanding instead,

An Ace is not LGBT, though some may say,

Yet the definition of queer comes our way.

For asexuality’s label may bring anger and dread.

Queer, once an insult, now an identity found,

The weird, the neurodiverse, has always been around.

Unravel the enigma, in truth open hearts wide,

I am a Christian, by the blood saved by God’s grace,

I am not LGBT, though you call us queer, I am an Ace.

Let understanding flourish, let us walk by your side.

Don’t assume, seek knowledge, allow empathy to mend,

It’s not about Pride, seeking God’s guidance, truth defend.
