This is a homophobia awareness poem I wrote for a poetry assignment in English. I'm really happy with how it turned out and it was apparently good enough for me to win my classes little poetry slam (hello 20 extra credit points). This poem ended up spanning about five pages and was a lot of fun (is that an okay word to use for this?) to write because I got to bring the dangers of homophobia and bullying into light for my classmates, who had a habit of saying "you're a Fag" to each other a lot. It seemed to work for many of them and a few actually toned it down. So I'm proud.
This poem will actually end up in my story The Doodle and The Poet. As it was kind of inspired by the same thoughts and events.

I'm giving a trigger warning right now because this is about depression and self harm, and it discusses bullying, suicide and of course homophobia. 

If reading about any of these things causes ANY harmful thoughts, I urge you not to read. 

However if you do read I thank you and hope you enjoy (as much as you can with such a depressing poem). 
Feed back is much appreciated.
Props to you if you recognize the song the "beat" of the poem comes from.
Thanks for reading my long aßs description.
