Faggot


I fell in love

Woth a woman 

Who taught me how to love. 

Because of this love

I'm a 

Faggot

Dyke

Sinner

Slut

Whore;

An abomination. 

When did the world turn to hate?

When did love became so rare;

Why is it okay to discriminate?

We can't face our own 

Short-comings,

So we project on to others. 

If you're so afraid of change

Then give it to me. 

I'm a woman;

I'm worth less annually. 

And people wonder why we 

Fight for equality.

My name is Kimberly. I'm 19, and I found this website while looking for scholarship sites. I write poetry, obviously, and most of it tends to be dark. I write better when pulling from bad memories and such.
