"Gay"
 Aug 2014 KILLME
ern kingham
I remember the first time someone explained to me what the word gay meant.
We were in middle school
Playing on the swing set behind Stoy Elementary
"He’s so gay," she said
Bitter disgust poured out of her mouth with every syllable
I could not think as to why being happy could be such a horrible thing
And so I asked
My exact words being
“Whats so wrong with being happy?”
Now both my friends looked at me weird
“Don’t you know what gay means?”
“Doesn’t it mean to be happy?”
“You’re such a little kid, gay does not mean happy. Gay is a boy who likes another boy”
I stood there wondering why it mattered so much that a boy liked another boy;
why it was such a distasteful thing.
And why it meant gay couldn’t still mean happy.

just a girl
its so sad
how all the apples at the top of the tree
never get chosen

its always
the apples at the bottom they are easier
to reach

so the perfect
apples at the top start to think *
something is wrong

they just have
to wait for the right person to come across
and climb the way

(c.m.h)
Don't be afraid
It's only love
& this is only a guideline

& this is only me placing my emotional worth on the line
I mean, no big deal, right?

What does it say about someone who places such high value
on short term happiness?

That's dangerous
& it's a danger, to us

I remember speeding through those traffic lights
Pulling those same stunts
So familiar
& warm
& fun

& dangerous
This is a danger, to us.

I want to be a dragon
So that i don't have to be expected to talk, i can just roar.
I want to be a dragon
So i don't have to stay here, i can fly away.
I want to be a dragon
So i can be beautiful no matter what.
I want to be a dragon
So i can live forever and watch the world change as i remain the same.

She let go

She was alone.
A face in the crowd that not one person noticed.
She had no one, not even herself.
When she looked in the mirror, she had to turn away in shame.
how could anyone love me? she thought.
She hid her scars, her fears, and herself from everyone.
One night, she looked to the stars in search of an answer that never seemed to come.
She decided to give up on everything. Her hope, her dreams, herself...
And she let go.

The way you
  walked was
    vivacious,
and the way
   you spoke
was taunting.

       When you walked into
       the room my eyes became
                     hooked...
           and the fixation
      continues to
manifest.
