As I stand here looking down
I see my body in the ground.
I see a smile made of glossy lips;
I look up, and then around.
There's people standing everywhere.
People I don't know.
Their tears swim around my feet...
I see people chanting in the street.
I look down at me again.
I wonder why I'm there;
an image flashes in my mind,
I see her face then I see mine.
Our lips touch as we embrace
our girl on girl social disgrace....
The bullet enters in my head
shot from a gun that's in the hand
of someone I had once called
friend;
Is this really how it ends?
I just found my one true love.
You're taking her away?
Because I'm a lesbian
you shot me
leaving her to grieve!
Society deceived you!
I can say
I love you too.
I look down at my body
laying in the ground
somehow my frown turned around
a smiling girl lays in the ground.
In the ground; yes, there I am
a victim of deceit
because society taught my killer
to hate people like me.

I am sincerely sorry someone shot you just because you were a lesbian. That seems a bit extreme to me. Surely a good talking to would have done? PS you confuse lay/lie, a particular horror of mine.

Wow. This was powerful and very moving. A sad yet all too true statement about our society and the prejudices they hold on to. Very good poem.

Death is vile and no reason can justify it ...we rise too many times think death is the answer when we need more understanding and compassion not hate ...even if we dont agree we need to let live alone not make terminal judgements

I like the perspective of this one- out of body, looking in on who you are, what has happened. So very sad....

i like the astral aspect to this, well more out of body perspective and the close is about as accurate as it gets, society has taught us to hate those who seek their own truth instead of admiring them, well done definitely talented.
