It's hate, shouts of
Dyke, faggot, gay
hateful, truthful words
It's "That's against God."
"You'll burn in hell."
"The Bible says... (insert verse here)."
It's avoidance and
"Ugh, you must like me then. Eww!"
Just because I'm gay,
it doesn't mean I want to screw you
It's always
Dyke
Hate,
trying to defend the
fiery licks of anger
slicing through skin and soul
It is hardly...
acceptance,
comfort
"That's cool."
But...
It is
self happiness...
knowing who you truly are
accepting yourself
Just like a normal person,
love, lust, heartbreak
It's getting along with guys
without being called a whore
finding "the one"
and living life
It is a community
of people just like
me... banding together
craving to feel accepted
It's waking up to
the smell of warm sugar
and vanilla, the one
rested against you
It is...
Love, hate, lust
Relationships
It is...
love, hate, lust
heartbreak
It is...
love, hate, lust
Normal
Just like everyone else...
