Tears

Crying
Because I can't get them to see
How fucking stupid and hateful they are
Crying
Because hating them--hating me--from a distance
Is better (at least in their mind)
Than hating me up front
Crying
Because the crying won't stop
And my hands keep shaking
Crying
Because her cool facade of hateful logic
Trumps my emotional rebuttal
Crying
Because now I know for sure
That they will never love me for who I am.
