Gauntlet
I have walked the gauntlet
Suffered countless beatings
Vicious verbal assaults in
Untold numbers.
I have been told
Throughout my life
These are my own doing,
For my being queer.
This has always been a lie.
The fault lies with the perpetrators
It lies in the breeding
Of homophobes.
It is not the victims
Who are at fault.
That is on you
Who perpetuate lies.
