Society Changed Me

A poem about society

Society hates gays

Oppressed and hated against,

Causes LGBT suicide rates to rise.
Instead of society being at fault,
Everyone blames those who don’t conform.
Threatening me to become straight,
Yelling at me for liking girls.

Creating this monster inside me,

Hating who I was born to be.

And wondering why I’m not normal.

Noticing I’m different and pretending to not be.

Going undercover, pretending to fit in,

Everyone’s watching my every move.

Daring me to mess up.

Maybe being LGBT is normal.

Everyone is valid.

Yes, there is still a social stigma among many about gay people. The one real hope I see is the younger generation seems to be a lot more to our diversity than older generations. And i love how you expressed yourself in this poem.

Thank you, I am a teenager and there is hope for the younger generation, however, we also have cancel culture which is toxic in its self because instead of learning from our past the younger generation in America is trying to erase it by taking down sculptures and being mad at people for things they did in their past when they have grown from those mistakes
