“Mommy”

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
