Battlefield
Do you know what it is like?
To be picked up.
To be beaten.
To be laughed at.
All because you are gay
Do you know what it is like?
To be called names like
faggot or transie.
All because of your sex prferences.
Everyday is like a battlefield
to fight for who you are.
To keep yourself going with
the decided life God gave you.
Taking as many bullets,
bits and bits of yourself
starts to fall off until they
render you to nothing.
Do you know what it is like?
To be on the edge with the
pills, knife, gun, bridge,
rope, or the water.
Do you know what it is like?
To be cornered everyday.
To be ganged on
while others turned a blindeye.
Why must you fight
to be accepted for
who you are and the life
that God has given you?
Why do you have to die
all because people don't accept
you as a person who likes the
same sex or feeling like you were
giving the wrong gender at birth?
Do you know what it is like?
Gripping onto your last bit of life
only to find out that you are
now facing death.
