To be gay
Location
Let me tell you a story about a girl I once knew
She kept to herself afraid to speak the truth
Afraid to speak her mind
And as time went on she stayed the same
Still ashamed to let people know who she really was
The years went by still had no friends
High school came up and she finally came out
She told her parents she was gay and they told her "baby girl that's ok we love you always"
Since her parents approved she went to school and told her teacher
He teacher said "you are free to be who ever you want to be"
One student over heard and word spread fast
Next thing she knew there were words on her locker that read "Gays go to hell" in permanent marker
For two years she took people's B.S. until one day she couldn't handle it
She went home and ran into her room and blasted some music
Her parents got home
Went upstairs and knocked on her door
They heard the music but no answer they turned the knob but the door was locked
They thought she would come downstairs soon so they waited
And waited
And waited
They went back upstairs and knocked on her door stilled no answer, music still playing, door still locked
In panic her dad kicked down the door they looked around there was no sight of her
A sound came from the closet so they ran to open it
Her mother screamed for what they saw was there daughter with a slit throat and a suicide note.
"Gays go to hell"
She isn't the only one leaving this world thinking that she isn't worth it
Stop gay hate
