That's So Gay

That’s so gay. You say, As I’m brushing off the slang you defend. My cheeks burn red trying to comprehend, But I wont. I wont grasp this trend. I wont hear the monster. I wont permit your condemn. I wont drink the water. Thirst. I crave acceptance. I need the peace. Allow transcendence, Compel the hurt to cease. That’s so gay Unaware of the violence you assimilate. Unaware of the arrogance you demonstrate. Unaware of the intolerance you pontificate. Unaware of the ignorance you perpetuate. They’re just words. You say with a clenched fist They’re just words. Whispered to the blade at her wrist. That’s so gay. 7/16/15

Wow! Brooke . We all have our struggle, I love the way you spew your demons with eloquence and clarity.. I don't know much about the order of things, but I do feel that if there is a Judge in the end, it won,t be human ):, jill
