Misogynist Homophobic People Need To Stop

She stands invisible to any fair go, 
Mentally bashed to a paste,
In a world where she is not wanted, 
Where she is simply erased,

Where none of her self is accepted by men, 
Women distrust her as well,
Where she is politely told to vanish, 
To crawl back into her shell,

She’s been beaten and bashed and raped by angry, 
Pushed to the fork in the road,
This academically gifted heart beating girl, 
Has been pushed right out to the cold,

She believes what folks whisper about her, 
She believes the things that they say,
She believes she doesn’t fit into this world, 
That she’s defective because she is gay.
