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 !

[brenda]

[Fabric Pulse]

Way to shout it loud! I like this, it's that silent yet in your face type of revenge but yet it isn't you going out and causing massive damage like punching someone either, it's the proving them wrong kind of defeat they have to deal with now.

[Helpless]

so very powerful! this really is an incredible piece!
its sad how people can be so narrow minded and self righteous that they can't see that we are all beautiful in our differences. the judgments and the hateful words of others can be the post painful cut of all, but in the end. i think they do it because they envy those with self confidence that they don't have. and their cruelty only makes us stronger in ourselves in the end.

So much power! You did a fantastic job of capturing emotion and thrusting it out to your readers!!

[Dream Weaver]

This is truly disheartening but also an insightful write...
Nobody knows what someone feels inside, be it
hurt, hate or rejection. A human being is still
a human being no matter what preference, race
color etcetera...Great write my friend.
