Mommy I’m
scared People they
stare Whispers they
sting Laughter pains
me Mommy I hurt My heart is
decomposing Agony and
misery Is all I feel Mommy I bleed Red streams
across my arms Poison escapes I’m pure again Mommy I cry The tears scar
my face With great
sorrow You will never
feel Mommy I’m gay This is not
just a phase I can’t be
cured This is who I
am Mommy are you
there? Have you shun
me away Like those
people that stare Please, please
don’t go away Mommy I’m alone Hold me I reach for you Yet you’re so
far away I need you here I’m scared I’m hurt I’m crying I’m dying |
