Intensity in Song

I was recently introduced to the work of a gay musician

His work was a train wreck of every human emotion

He made me laugh and feel pain

He shocked me and even made me a little uncomfortable

He could slide so easily into a world I have only read about and glimpsed in movies

His raw passion sometimes made me fear for his sanity

But he communicated deeply and sincerely

He pushed me past my comfort level

To feel empathy for LGBTQ people

And anger at the world for being so ignorant and hateful

He is real

Much of the world is not

He owns his genuineness

Much of the world does not

Glad to have met you John Grant
