You hate me becuase I'm different
You don't like what I stand for
So, you call me names like dyke and f*g

I pitty you because you know nothing about me
Who I really am
What I've had to endure

You just see the outside
Not whats going on inside
How I think or how I feel

Your blind hate has caused so much pain
All the blood that I've lost and tears that I've cried
Those scars will never go away

Just watch your back
What goes around,
Comes around

Because one day you'll be the one who's different
And only then will you be able to understand

(kinda inspired by my ex friend who decided to tell my best friend not to hang out with me because I'm a lesbian)

Have you ever noticed when packaging says, "Do Not Eat" on the side, it's extra tempting to do so?

I like to see people use words instead
of their fists and weapons in cases like these.

I suggest reading poetry as often as you can
by poets you admire. I read Pablo Neruda,
Emily Dickinson and T.S. Eliot very often and
they inspire me to write, as well as many of the
poets here. Reading definitely improves writing
even if it's the morning paper!

Good luck to you.
