Comet of 1989• Show poetry

My name's Hayley Im a student in Birmingham, England.
I like to write depressing poetry i guess. I use poetry as a way to vent my emotions, a lot of my poems may come accross as relationships gone wrong, but some are and some aren't.
I am now single after many silly arguments.

Poems Written For Me

To my friend Ohthetragedy

you have become a real sweet friend
on you I know I could depend
I really hope you trust me too
as friends we are and that means a lot
We have a laugh at lots of things
like spiders and hair spray
what a funny thing
we talk about dates and kids
we talk about the bad stuff too
to have a giggle and a friend like you
makes me proud that your my sister too


I want to say thank you sis
for you have helped me so much lately
thanks for making me smile
thanks for your honesty
and thanks for the tips with the hair spray  

(It's still in the glass lol)

Love ya sis

Hayley is My A P Niece
and I love her so very much
as ever since I met her
my life she did touch

She's a most beautiful Person
with a loving heart to match
and anyone finding love with her
have found the greatest catch

For she's wonderful in every way
that a Person could ever be
and that is why I'm proud
to her Auntie be.

HOMOPHOBIA IS WRONG

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.

I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.

I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.

We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.

I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.

I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.

I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.

I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.

We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.

I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.

I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.

I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.

I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.

I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.

I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didnt have to always deal with society hating me.

I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.

I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.
