Restlessly waiting

Poem dedicated to all the homophobes and racists out there in the world. It's time to realize that we're all the same. We're all human, d****t!!

You look at me but don’t see me

No matter how loud I shout

No matter how hard I struggle

To you I don’t exist.

 

Your eyes stare right through me

Like I’m an insignificant insect

Crawling on the surface of your perfect world

Unworthy of your penetrating gaze

 

Sometimes I wonder why,

When I see you I end up crying.

Why it hurts me so much,

To see you there glaring.

 

One day you’ll wake up and realize,

That I am not an insect unworthy of your gaze,

But a human being,

Just like you.

 

Soon the day will come,

When you finally understand,

What it’s like to be discriminated against,

And cease to hate me because of who I am.

 

Until then I will wait,

Enduring everything you throw at me,

Tolerating your hatred and violence.

Knowing that, like everything, this too will end.
