You took your fist
You brought it across his face
You found out he was gay
So you ‘put him in his place’
The blood soaked his shirt
But you wouldn’t give up yet
You started at his wounded body
Bloody and covered in sweat
“You stupid fag”
You said, and the boy began to cry
You spit upon his face
And kicked him one more time
He just lay there crying
Heartbroken and in pain
Slowly he got up
And walked home alone in the rain
He walked in almost silently
Going straight up to his room
This would be the place
This young soul would meet his doom
He sat silently on his bed
Writing out his note
He wanted to scream to someone
But the words caught in his throat
He put the gun to his head
The pain would end tonight
Everything went black
And it was finally alright
A mother lost her son
Another person to this fate
All she prays tonight
Is that we stop the hate
*~Abigail~*

More than amazing.
This was very meaningful to me, and I'm sure it would me to most of my friends (it already was to one of them who read this before me). I respect you for writing this, and I wish that the rest of the world could see. I want to cry when I think of how people treat other people, in this case for sure. It was an amazing piece.
Thank you for writing.

wow, I'm practically cry.
I don't know why I'm telling you this, but as a gay guy, and someone who went through "something like that" I really felt moved that there are people who understand that this stuff goes on all the time
Thanks alot! -

Wow! This is one of the best pro-GLBT poems I've read in a long time. You stated your position clearly, but told a story while you did it. i also liked that you say 'you' in the poem, like 'You took your fist.' That was an interesting POV. I also loved the rhymes in this. They really gave the piece a nice rhythm and flow.
Great poem! I will absolutely be bookmarking and applauding this. keep it up!

This was great and very moving, but very respectful of suicide. Well done. What happened to Matt sadly happens to many others, and people need to realize how much there actions effect people. That's a great message to spread.

i love this poem...i understand it a lot cose i have friends that r gay n understand the pressure n stress there under great job..
