Day of Silence

My silence
Scares
You
And causes hate
Evil glares
I receive
Tormented and Teased
Is this how they felt before they

DIED?
I must be SILENT
For those
who couldn't

CRY


The author's comments:
I wrote this poem after I participated in this day of silence that some people do at my school. One day out of the year, my friends and i are silent for people who were harmed or killed in gay,bisexual,or transgendered hate crimes. The silence is supposed to remind people that we must work to make this world a safer and more understanding place for EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!
