Faggott!

A look at the turmoil of my life and the experiences shared by many of this once minority! The struggle is on going, however I think tides have been turned.

Little Nancy boy playing with your dolls,

Chubby and quiet, that squeaky voice,

Tease him, ignore him, make him an it,

Little mammy's boy rolling in their Royce.

Awkward adolesent never showers with us,

Crap at all sports, dirty and weird,

Do you all hear what they say about it,

That he looks and speaks a little queered.

F*****g faggott, he sleeps with other men,

Makes us sick to our stomachs, it's wrong,

Our priest says its a mortal sin,

I hope he never looks at my dong.

To all you b******s that bullied that boy,

I forgive you whole heartedly, no tears,

I've come through it stronger and better than you,

I no longer feel for you at all, no fears!

Author's Note

To every person that made me feel less than normal, human or perfect, I've made a success of my life, can you say the same!

Bravo Mr. Fitzgerald ! Your right..it did make you stronger and it shows in your writing, not just this piece.
I bet some of those people have become more opened minded as our communities continue crack their hearts to see with love..
I myself am a "breeder" ( : loving called this .. (again) Bravo !
……
I came back to add… I have listened to many stories from friends and family..them growing up gay.. how they were harassed by the law, put into places for mental health..because don't you know .. it can be corrected? (joking totally) ..it is not like that now where I live..but to think these things happened to people I love and admire..to hear how they rose above injustice.. well it makes me pretty proud to know them !

This poem is so sad, but I love the happy ending. My favourite line is probably 'I've come through it stronger and better than you'.
The prejudice is so unfair, and people shouldn't have to experience it at any point in their life, let alone when they're so young and vulnerable.

Well said. I will say, like many others, that I do not agree with the lifestyle. But I will not directly discriminate an individual for their decisions in life. Your feelings are strong. And even if people, like me, disagree with certain things, you should continue living out your own life. Even if I never told anyone, there was a time I thought this lifestyle was me. I was wrong/confused.

As some might say, "Whatever floats your boat." Don't rock my boat.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Indeed, thank you x

The world fear what it don't understand. A close mind can't see each of us want more or less. I believe man or woman. It is nobody business what you do behind locked door. I hope the world is better today. People are less fearful to tell the world their preference. My step-brother tried to hide his desires. In my family. No-one care if he loved men. He was still my brother and celebrated 30 year with his mate last year. Sometime to be push away and negative can make you stronger. A excellent poem.
