Something I wrote during a time of doubt, well I tend to doubt a lot, I guess this was extreme doubt. And with these very necessary conversations about bullying and how these beautiful, young people are committing suicide as a way to ease their pain, well this piece feels timely...I feel bad that being gay is a reason to be bullied. I feel bad that in this day and age being gay is still an issue. I feel bad that there are so many hurting young souls out there that feel so bad about themselves, they feel the need to destroy others...It is a sad time...I don't really have a title, as usual..but maybe "Christian is as Christian does"...It kinda whispers of teen angst, but that's not necessarily a bad thing...
Feeling anxious
Want the war to end
Hatred like knives cutting my skin
Body bruised from your words and looks
Sticks and stones pelt the ground at my feet-
I step over them
Anger rings in my ears,
Makes me dizzy.
What did I do to you?
Why do you hate me?
I run away from your mob
You liked me cuz it was wrong not to-
You didn't want people to know the truth.
I stumble on the debris of the hate you try to suppress
You pretended to be OK with me
You pretended to accept me
But you just can't do it anymore
Hate bubbles from your nostrils, eyes, ears
Just like me you can't pretend to be something you're not anymore
