I love my MP3 player; turned up full blast; drowning out you,
You and your friends; saying all those things about me.
No, not me directly. To a whole group of us. Just because of what?
When you walk past us on a sidewalk can you tell that we are different?
We don't have extra eyes; we don't wear a sign saying:
Hello, My Name Is ______________ and I am Bi.
We don't go around checking out everything that moves.
So I'm assuming (correctly assuming at that,) that you can't tell.
Even if you could, why would you say those things and expect people to laugh?
No, the political system isn't gay, and the President isn't a fag.
Theres a difference between a fag and a jack-ass. A big one; actually.
And when you compare us to idoits like that; guess what; it hurts.
I wish I could scream at you; and slap you as those words flew out of your mouth.
What makes a fag a bad thing? Why don't they don't deserve to live?
Well to be honest...
You are the one who doesen't deserve to live for saying that.
But what can I do? I'd actually have to come out to get you to realize.
Thats why it hurts, okay? And I know you won't stop until I tell you why.
But I can't do that. Not yet; at least. I turn my music up louder.
You know what; I love me, no matter who I like, so even if you don't know...
I don't care, because I'm happy being me... an
Altered,
Buttoned up,
Out of tune,
Offbeat.
And if I told you I know you'd have to still love me too. You couldn't help but to.

Burning the Book...
This is about how people bash gays, and I hate it.
Theres this guy and a girl on my bus and they just it there and call kids fags... This is for them.

Good luck to you in your quest to be excepted.

Great
This was great lots of feeling thanks for sharing and giood luck in the contest. Nobody can judge you like you judge yourself. So if you are happy with your life then just tell other peole to go screw off. That takes a lot of courage I know but when you do then they won't pick on you anymore. Thanks again for entering my contest. -
