The World Through My Eyes [My Poem Collection]

Say Our Name

No, don't say the words, please,

I can't stand hearing them anymore.

It hurts a lot, so please stop it,

They are too hard to ignore.

I am not a fag and not a faggot,

Gay is the only correct word.

But if you would just say my name,

Because that is what's preferred.

No, please don't say it anymore,

It hurts to have it slap you in the face.

Those are some of the words,

That are impossible to erase.

She is not a whore or a slut,

She is just pretty in her dress.

If you would just say her name,

That would be some progress.

No, we are so tired of those words,

Like a tattoo they are forever there.

Stop hurting us with your hate,

Don't forget we breathe the same air.

He is not retarded or an idiot,

He just has a lot on his mind.

If you would just say his name,

There would be peace to find.

We are so fucking tired of your jokes,

Of every single thing you ever said.

You have no idea what you could do,

Those stupid words could cause death.

She is not a disgusting freak,

She just doesn't like to be a he.

If you would just say her name,

Maybe she could be free.

One word can be remembered forever,

Do you realize the damage you cause?

There are no rules as to how to be,

Or are these your unwritten laws?

She is not a whale or a cow,

She just has a little more of weight.

If you would just say her name,

She wouldn't puke out what she ate.

I, no, we are so sick of all this,

We have been silent for far too long.

We don't need your permission,

There is not a thing about us that's wrong.

So if you would just say our name.
