their just like you and me

who is she
she's the one
dressed in black
away at the back
scared by life and bruised by him
he claims he loves her
that she shouldnt make him mad
its all her fault her brusies are black
she's the one they all call goth
because the black hides all her thoughts

who is he
the one called a fag
thrown out in the cold
by a father who hates
he sits alone in the arms of his love
kicked out by society
left to sit alone
all becuase of his love for a boy
its not any different than a love for a girl
but its looked down on by all who watch

who is she
the one disowned
she loves a girl
and dont care who knows
her mother claims its sin
says its not too late to be save
her father says its a damn disgrace
they dont love her any more
they say her lifes a waste

who is she
the one once a man
for she didnt feel whole
with a life of a man
she's kicked and shes beat
by those in the streets
they dont know her story yet they leave her so weak
they say horrid things they make her say "why
why couldn't I die on the table that night
the night they made me who i am
the woman I am and no longer a man"

who are these people
the ones left behind
the ones the world has left to die
why i ask they are just like us
with a heart and blood
they bleed like us
what makes them so diffrent
from you and I
why must we make them all live a lie
when their just like us
like you and me
what makes you think they shouldnt be

    Not controversial at all, which is what the contest wanted. However, judging you by this poem I doubt you could spell controversy nevermind write it.

    I love the way you have exposed the flaws of society (favouring the people suffering). This was very effective, and I hope many more people get to read it Ampd
