Gracelyn Raymond Poem
How lovely when you smile
How lovely when you cry
How lovely when you laugh
And how lovely when you sigh
How lovely when you look me in the eyes
And how lovely you look even when you’re shy
How lovely you look
And how lovely you are
Your scent brings me home
To a place I once knew
Now when I think of home
I think of you
So lovely you are and will always be
How lovely are and will always be to me
You are lovely it is to be in love with Darling

Gracelyn Raymond Poem
Should I be reminded of being a freak
I shall fall onto my knees
And cry before I break
But try before I wake
From this sleep so blinding black
I will look for what I lack
A sense of beauty on my face
The only sight of a disgrace
They see me as a freak
I must have had a leak
I cry and wail all night
Trying not to fight
The feeling of my face in the mirror above my head
It only reflects my weaknesses and nothing comforting
I wonder to myself,
“What do they think of me?”

Gracelyn Raymond Poem
Burn the fat from my bones and remind me,
That I am beautiful because we both know;
I will not believe it until it falls from your lips.
I will catch your words in my cupped hands as I sob on my knees
Praying for nothing but your approval.
Mother…
What do you think of me…
I was born from your womb and flourished in your arms.
I am you at heart…!
But you still hate me…
Is it self hatred or you simply hating me…?
What did I do wrong to deserve your hands on my body,
Your slaps on my face,
Your kicks in my legs,
And your words in my head.
What could I have done for you to hate me so badly…
Is it how I talk,
Do I talk wrong?
Is it how I walk,
Do I walk wrong?
When I breathe in your direction do you shiver?
Do the quills in your back stand in defense when I speak?
Do you really love me as much as you say you do,
Or do you hate me as much as you imply,
As much as you say,
As much as lack,
As much you lie.
You lack heart and pain,
Sympathy must’ve have never been seen anywhere near your name.
Mother, I know you hate me but why…
I just want one small answer please…
The voices in my head scream to me as I think of you,
Your words slicing through my body,
Tearing me from inside out,
Ripping my organs,
Tearing my heart,
Wrecking my brain…
So burn the fat from my bones and remind me you care.
Remind me you love me,
Remind me you care about me,
YOUR ACTION ARE USELESS!
I WANT YOUR WORDS MOTHER!
YOUR HONEST WORDS!
S0 WHY?
WHY MUST YOU HATE ME?!
IN THE NAME OF GOD,
BURN THE FAT FROM MY BONES AND REMIND ME!!
WHY YOU HATE ME!

Gracelyn Raymond Poem
Why is America so ty…
Why must this Country hate it’s people so much?
Why do I have all these questions about how ty this place is…
America… one of the main Country’s that you’ll see have school shootings, robberies, mass murders…
Why is this Country filled with Racism, Homophobia, Transphobia, Etcetera,
Because if god loved us he would have made us all the same right?!
He would have made us all white people! All white women and men with perfect bodies and blonde hair and blue eyes!
He would have made us all straight with no curves, no zigzags, no twists, no turns, no short-cuts…
God loves us… Just not enough to make us love each other
Because everyone is perfect;
Black men, Black women, White men, White women, Gay men, Lesbian women, Bisexual beings, Everyone is special in their own way.
And for some reason human beings can not except that people don’t need to all be the same.
So why, If god loved us as much as we think he does than he should put more time into making us love each other and ourselves instead of putting time into figuring which dogs breeds to make next…
