The Poetic Side

11th: Faggot

Faggot

'Tay, 'tay, pasensya na,

Pasenya na po kung sinuway kita.

Pasenya na kung 'di ko kayang sundin ka,

Sundin yung gusto mo na maging katulad kita,

Yung maton na kinatatakutan ng iba,

Pasensya na po, hindi ko talaga kaya.

Hindi ko kayang sikmuraing magsuot ng brief,

'Di ko kayang lumabas nang walang gloss sa aking lip.

Toy guns and remote-controlled cars are not my trip

'Di ko po talaga kayang sa basketbol ay 'di ma-trip.

Pasensya na po kung mas pinili kong saktan ka at ipakita yung totoo,

Ipakita kung sino at ano talaga ako.

I don't need the approval of everybody

I don't want to change any part of my body

I just need your love, then I'll be happy

Just your approval, no more 'sorry'

I'm okay alone, just say you support me

I'll live on my own, just don't neglect me.

Because I can take their insults,

But, not your hurtful words.

I can take their curses,

But, not your hate.
