“I Will Not Change Who I Am” By Joseph
Bernier |
Desciption of Submission: A poem descrbing the
troubles of gay youth
|
I will not change who I am I feel it best for you not
to judge. for this is who I am. born and raised. it's true I'm gay. don't look at me like I'm wrong. this is normal. I am normal. gay is normal. this is not a choice. do you think I want to be ridiculed for who I am. no. remarks can be heard even in the loudest of places. even with the softest voices. your remarks hurt. queer and fag words hurt. but I've got words as well. and they can sting. my friends. are what matters. they like me for me. gay or straight. it doesn't matter. what matters is who you are. I'm me. I'm gay. I'm normal. I will not change who I am. |
