Banished

by Ray 8D   Jul 29, 2007


I'm banished from society because i'm gay.
They don't care what I have to say.

They lock me into my own humanity.
Never able to see an ounce of serenity.

Stereotyped before I say "Hi!".
Hated before I can say "Goodbye!"

They take my hopes, they take my rights.
Without even listening to any of my plights.

I'm thankful to have the people who accept me.
I'm just glad that they're able to see:

I'm only human.
I can't please everyone.
Sorry 8o

  • Aaron, i really really really liked this poem. see before you got up the courage to tell everybody i felt bad cuz ppl wanted to make fun of you and shyt like that. shyt. i say that they were just jealous because you have/had more attention and plus for the guys(more "girl" friends) lol but its good that you are starting to come out with yourself and remember when ya need to talk. im 7 digits away. or ya can get me on the computer. i love you aaron and i dont want you to feel that you have to hide yourself away from me. well i love ya and will ttyl

    I think everybody is entitled to be who they want to be without judgement or discrimination. Society on a whole is really messed up, but there are people in society who will accept people for who they are. In the end, we cant change who we are deep inside. An emotive write.
