You got enemies? Good, means you stood up for something you care about.


Because of our sexuality,
through our teen years,
we must get harassed.
Being tripped of the bus.
Getting called "fag" and "queer"
Victimized by our peers.
Every once in awhile being beaten up.
We, and many others know there's nothing
wrong with homosexuality.
Many of us proud.
Some of us never come to terms,
even try to "be straight"
Some attempt suicide.
We conquer barriers, ignoring the ignorant,
dealing with the harassment.
Getting over being "different"
It is not our problem, but societies problem,
and in the end, being different,
is the best thing
that we can be.


The author's comments:
This poem is written for those of us who could not cope, who took the other way out. Those who never did come to terms, and those who have yet to be comfortable with their own sexuality. I hope homophobia will soon be part of the past, cause it does effect so many of us, if not all.
