I am GAY
I am:
A word
One word
Just three small
Letters,
Gay;
G-A-Y
I.
Like.
Boys.
You call me a:
F****t,
Idiot,
Abomination,
Tell me to
Die;
D-I-E.
Maybe
I
Will.
Every Sunday I go to church,
and am told me it’s wrong,
evil,
an abomination
To be gay like
me;
M-E.
I
Hate
Myself.
I am not
Allowed
To see my sister,
Kaylie,
Because I’m
Gay;
G-A-Y.
She
is
Nine.
I love the cutest guy at school,
he plays football,
he is straight,
he told me to
F***
off
f**;
F-A-G
He
Broke
Me.
Everywhere I
Go, I
Have to face
All
The
Prejudice;
P-R-E-J-U-D-I-C-E.
Of
Being
Homosexual.
Some days I
Cant
Take it,
And paint my wrists
A bloody
Sunrise;
S-U-N-R-I-S-E.
No
One
notices.
I have no home,
My parents
Hate me.
I am
All
Alone;
A-L-O-N-E.
No
One
Cares.
Standing at the edge of the edge,
wind in my hair,
tears streaming down my cheeks.
I
close
my
eyes
and
jump;
J-U-M-P.
