I'm Hers, Not Yours

Written for all the GLBT bigots

Time and time again you taunt me with those slurs,
you are just pissed that I'm not yours, but hers.

Do you really think the words that come out of your
mouth has any effect on me, or is it that you try
to bring others down to your level of stupidity?

Say whatever you want to, it won't bother me,
cause you see I am a real woman that isn't afraid to show
the world who she really is. I hide behind no masks like
others want me to, what you see is what you get.

I refuse to be a puppet on a string for the world to make
me dance at their every whim; so what if I love a
her instead of a him.

Love is love, and if you can't see that you need to open
your eyes and take a good look around.

I am always gonna be hers and not yours,
so get used to it.

Well to be completely honest, the fact that you wrote this shows that you do in fact care about what he says. On the other hand, I think that it's great to write about it all because it helps you get over it easier, as well as produce a very well-penned piece! Thanks for sharing, best of luck :)

Beautifully well written~ I enjoyed reading this. It's just so true. People need to calm down and let others do what they want. it is really none of their business

"mouth has any effect on me" since "words" is plural, "has" should be "have"

I like that you made the text purple. I'm guessing you knew very well the significance of the color when you made it that way. And I found it interesting that you went from having clear and consistent rhymes to free verse. This was a good technique, reflecting the transition from socially "normal" and traditional lifestyles to the speaker's pride in her "alternative" lifestyle.

Good job with this, and be proud to love her. Only ignorant people think it's a choice and the wrong choice. Thank you for the poem and the RR.

Poetry is at its best when we can write what is in the heart...We should never really wear masks for then we aren't really living. I like this bold and to the point piece.

I read the words in this and feel so much stronger... I am sitting here reading say 'yeah'.... 'say it loud'

There is so much strength in this words...

others want me too, what you see is what you get."
