Whispers

I just needed to get this off my chest. Them fake 'friends'...

You're oh so friendly when you're faced with me
Yet behind my back you talk so recklessly
Tell me all this bullshit
That you hide in front of the lies
To protect your fake and ugly smile

You say that I should be accepted
Yet look at the disgust on your face
When I speak my mind like I have the right to
Those remarks that you all make

You can treat me like I'm a freak
Just because I love in a different way
And act as if it's unnatural but
Do your research and you'll soon see
People like me have been here for centuries


You don't understand the power of words and thought
It can burn in, engrave it's mark
In the already self-hating presence
I've come to expect from myself


Listen to all those whispers
That echo in the dark
You can pretend it doesn't bother you but still, 

It sinks in over time and
I know that I may scare you...

I'm so sorry for your ignorance.

I hear all the whispering in the silence
So I give up on being so pleasant
Who can I trust here now?
Since the ones that were oh so nice to me

Are the ones stabbing the knife right into my back

Author's Note

It's not exactly a work of art but it's just something I needed to get off my chest. I'm sick of being disliked just because of my sexual orientation.

Expressive and, I assume, therapeutic in the way it allows your emotions to project themselves into the written art. You're only a member of society when you pertain to the rules and expectations of said society, and that's unfortunately the rule of many societies these days. If only equality would prevail, and I'm sure it will, eventually or someday, or perhaps when like-minded people band together to become a force to be reckoned with.
I know the feeling, I'm harshly disliked for both my sexual orientation and my religious values, and I must say: hold on there! There are many who feel outcasted and we will all effect the perspectives of those close to us and perhaps others that we might meet by chance. Well done.

The wonderful thing about writing is you can say whatever you need to and get it out of your system without (hopefully) any repercussions. This is a really good write and one I'm sure everyone will be able to relate to! Hang in there! (:
