Queer Heart
March 31, 2018
A queer,
A hopeful soul,
stomped out like a glowing ember in a dying fire.
"Faggot," they say. And laugh.
A bloody gash appears on the queer heart.
"It's just a phase.”
Another gash.
"You are the gender you're born as.”
A deeper gash.
“You look like a boy. Stay as one.”
All bleeding, bleeding, bleeding,
until the blood is released
with a silver blade.
And the queer heart is no more.

Being a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I know all too well about the effects of homophobia on people everywhere. Some of my closest friends (including myself) have faced extreme difficulties in their life, all because of their sexuality. My ultimate goal is to spread love and acceptance, because words can hurt more than anything else in the world.
