Gay queer
Limp wrist
Homosexual
Pansy
Faggot
Fudge packer
Pervert
Gross
Unnatural
Perverse
Cock sucker
the words
I heard
 today
And you wonder why
gay teen’s
Kill themselves
You say
we didn’t do anything
Oh but you did
You did nothing
When I was beaten up
Five on one
You did nothing
Just watched
And said how terrible
When someone tripped me in the lunch line
You just turned you back
Some of you even laughed
Tell me why
 Is my pain so funny
Funny
from where I lay
I did not feel like laughing
Because I’m gay
My tears mean nothing
 

Just mean that I am weak
You are not content with
Breaking my bones
No you want my soul as well
See the pansy
Could not take it
No great loss
just one less fag in the world
That’s what should happen to all of them
The world would be better off
To you
 I am nothing
Just a stereotype
A label
Not a person
My hopes and dreams
They mean nothing to you
I am so tired
Hard to write
Oh God
I hope I took enough
