Sean's change
Location
Sean realized at a young age
Other boys were not quite the same
He wasn’t on the same page
No one was to blame
He was so estranged
He felt naught but shame
He tried more than once to be changed
But still he liked boys
He thought himself deranged
All the others wanted noise
He wanted to curl up with a book
They screamed for toys
He stood by to look
He was met with a sneer
He felt like a crook
All they did was jeer
Gave him nothing but taunts
Anytime he was near
He sought solace with his aunts
But it wasn’t quite right
He had unmet wants
Just to get in a fight
To get that feeling
Alas, he thought, I’m slight
No more reeling
With his own version of inner pain
Now was the time for his healing
Maybe it wasn’t a flaw in his brain
But with them
It was simply a lack of feeling plain
He was the gem
Not a lump of coal
No longer could he condemn
Himself to feeling as only half of a whole
He was born anew
And they were still in that old hole
On this problem he began to chew
How to make them see
He wasn’t just one of a few
Accepting they should be
Not filled with hate
He was still part of the life tree
A person just not straight
But still a person
It was decided by fate
No need for them to worsen
Something that is already hard
No need for him to feel like urine
Slowly they began to discard
The poisonous thoughts
And then became his guard
To blunt the pain that felt like constant shots
Then they all sought
To untie society’s crazy knots
To let all people be taught
That gays are not what they thought
