Gay

Faggot, dyke, homo, queer You’re a sponge to the names That are used to defame And instill self-destructive fear Hide from these words you hear Natural state, the source of your shame The core of you, for which they take aim Breaking apart with lukewarm tears Why don’t they try and change their skin? Belong to a world that doesn’t want them Understand predisposition And live where your soul has been Different is what they condemn, Dangerous in this world we live in. (poems go here)
