If I wasn't gay would people care? Would they actually let me breath the same air? Could I actually go to school, without people being so cruel? Could I live in a world with no hate? Maybe people would love me if I was straight. It's not as easy as people think. I can't just go to a shrink. I didn't choose to be this way. You really think I'd want to be gay? I don't want attention, I don't want fame. This isn't some sort of game. I am who I am and thats okay. Most people don't see it that way. I only wish I could be the same. To have a wedding and it not be shamed. I want to have kids and not be judged. I don't want my reputation smudged. But apparently I'm different now. Sick in the head somehow. Therapy and shock treatment for something that can't be fixed. How did I get put into this mix? Toxic and tragic, that's my life. It's like I was stabbed in the back with a knife. I'm gay, what's wrong with that? I get treated like some rat. Using your holy books and your religion. To fight against something that makes no difference. I want to be a human not a punching bag. Always getting called a *** Let that word have power and it gets to you. But that words as good as whatever is stuck to the bottom of my shoe. I love being this way. I don't care what you say.

Gay
This poem is by Norman Stevens in response to MY poem about HIM. Have made some minor changes. In Willy’s Bar on High, Sheltered from Cleethorpes sea and sky, Paul Butters utters words of cheer, While quaffing his pint of Willy’s beer. He sets about his spicy meal, Loading up for his evening’s sport, When he’ll aim to be the real deal. Owner Bill’s Angels prepare another stew, To help down another “home –made” brew. They nip outside for another “staff meeting”, Paul says they’ve gone for a *** But THAT I’m not repeating. Throughout these capers, Norman reads his informative papers. Sipping his Nectar Beer, He’ll leave in good cheer. Norman Stevens Assisted by Paul Butters (C) PB\NS 17\11\2015.

Norman Stevens Gets Evens - by Norman Stevens
By now,the seed varieties of the world, may have been attacked beyond recovery by wars of pretense and relapses. We are still learning how to handle it properly. We tend to say. Some will talk and plan over dinner parties, over TV or Radio. Most will leave it behind like another corpse of lessons thrown to the gutter, like a dead *** on another Sunset Boulevard. Iraq's seed banks we blew up in the 2000s. In various places in Asia and the Middle East, places of life and cultured varieties gone in an instant. Echoing our imprisoned ignorance and drives for more instant goods and services. Indian farmers have committed mass suicides after their god Hanuman was used by a chemical giant to sell poison seeds and renewed bondages of indebtedness. One question a stranger asked a group of writers on tour was not what their poetry or books were about, nor why they wrote it, but how writing may and may not be helping as we make decisions and solve problems now? Once agricultural lands turn into new promises of commercial buildings. Cities of inaccessible towers and abandoned malls in America, Spain, China, and Russia feeds us back our own echo. Like converted uses of lands, our humanity is converted into inanimate collections and status symbols of some players or parties. As we face our continuing struggle between our oppressor-selves and our genuine roots. Despite the perversions, inside vicious habits of waste where we glorify promises of war and efficiencies, we continue to be entrusted with the ongoing lessons: Rarely do surviving generations through famine, war and diseases, throw away means to live, or destroy any kind of seed. Every day we wake to the ruins and remains of Our living poetry, word spaces, hours, exchanges, gains and losses, stopping and going. This time, not just for fires of anguish or unnecessary losses, but for each other's midnight lamps.#

I am not at fault. I didn't do anything wrong. Why am I being treated as though I did? Stop it with the pity and the shame. I am not ashamed. I don't need pity. Especially not yours. Life is messed up, but I am not. One in five. one in five. ONE IN FIVE One in five LGBTQ+ people have been mistreated because of their ****** orientation. It's not that hard to find these statistics. Look it up. Look up anything about LGBTQ+ people and I'm sure you'll find mistreatment. I'm sure you'll find harm. I'm sure you'll find that they harm themselves. Because they feel at fault. It's not their fault that they feel a common emotion towards another person you, selfish, close-minded.. mmm. No. Four in five. four in five. FOUR IN FIVE Don't talk about it. The way they were mistreated. If you don't really get that If you can't  really fathom that Almost all of them Almost every single one of these people that have been mistreated don't even talk about it they don't reach out they don't tell anyone NEARLY HALF of LGBTQ+ people in school are bullied Are mistreated Are hurt Are mocked Are called names *** ****** *** In school. Yeah, bullying happens all the time over stupid **** All the time. Wearing glasses, looking different, being gay. I get it. It happens. Whatever. Nearly half. "72 countries criminalise same-sex relationships ... The death penalty is either ‘allowed’, or evidence of its existence occurs, in 8 countries In more than half the world, LGBT people may not be protected from discrimination by workplace law Most governments deny trans people the right to legally change their name and gender from those that were assigned to them at birth Between 2008 and 2014, there were 1,612 trans people were murdered across 62 countries - equivalent to a killing every two days A quarter of the world’s population believes that being LGBT should be a crime" Oh hey, just some statistics. Isn't that interesting. Isn't it cool to take a step back and check that out. That's pretty crazy huh? Pretty outrageous. But, you know, maybe if you weren't such a *** I did nothing wrong. I tried to stop it. I tried. But how can you stop Doing What Is Natural. People are hurting People are dying People are being killed People are killing themselves Stop it with the pity and the shame. We are not to blame.

As a bisexual, I fear Few will want you to be proud. They will bend your ear Saying things to you out loud That would be better left Totally, embarrassingly unsaid Instead of rattling around Inside the cathedral of your head. Too many try to make it Seem like a kind of venal crime To want to make love with Someone of your own kind And maybe with the same Gender with which you were born. To some it is very biblical And subjects you to public scorn. Finding someone **** With the same plumbing as you It not only delightful It can be a dream come true. It feels correctly natural And works like the other way Even though people scorn And use words like *** and ‘gay’ Or ****** and even taco Whatever that might end up meaning. The important thing to me Bisexuality is so powerfully appealing. So, those who dislike me And feel so righteously zealous That bisexuality is wrong Are very possibly just jealous. Or maybe just uptight Living by someone’s else’s rules; Not what they’ve learned And therefore are bigoted fools.

BISEXUAL BIGOTRY
Through the country paths, I lazily loitered, watching Nature in its changing hue straying farther into the interiors, sundry and sublime vistas came into view. in response to zephyr’s warm embrace, the silvery leaves joyously fluttered. the bees busied themselves collecting pollen and birds on tree tops merrily chattered it was the *** end of verdant spring. summer’s sun stood behind my head. bleat of sheep was heard from far. ‘Good day to you’….. Someone said. There stood on the hill, a boy around fifteen obviously he was of tribal breed. with a beaming smile, he greeted me but on walking to him, he ran like a steed I saw him disappear behind the trees and enter into a hut tiny as a nest he lived in the lap of Mother Nature, far from the city and its sooty dust being coaxed, he hesitantly came out. my tone of assurance and pleasing smile, seemed to have won his confidence as to a friend, he shared his eventful tale. pointing to the sheep grazing in the slope, he said, he earned a living caring the flock. he stayed in the woods all day long, feeding and tending his master’s sheep. from dawn to dusk, through woods and meads, he leads his sheep, calling them by their name. un vexed, with simple pleasures he is content and with a nomad’s life, he seems to be tame he said, at home he has his invalid mother. bringing her back to health is his mission in life on referring to his mother, I watched his eyes glitter nothing other than her illness posed to him a strife from every utterance, I could sense his filial love. even in abundance, while shadows line many faces, on his visage, hope lingered as a dancing flame to me he seemed above many, rich in other graces! While parting, I handed him a little money pausing unbelievably, with moist eyes he accepted it, when a breeze passed caressing us as if over a kind gesture, Nature seemed to rejoice!

Bullying!
All day, every day I'm terrified of you. Again and again your fist makes contact with my skin. Broken spirit, heart, will, pride. Be happy because you broke me. Can't you just smell the pride seeping off of you     as you beat me up again. Can anybody see me? Help me? Dead.     I'm dead. **** Everyone looks the other way. Nothing wrong happens in their worlds. Even the teachers. Fear seeps into my bones when I see you in the halls. 'Fuck you!' I scream in my head, but can never get the words    out my mouth. *** you whisper, in a way that cuts deeper than any scream. Go away. Please. Get bored of me. How can someone be this awful? Help me. It was stupid of me to fight back, because I can't breath after you kick me in the stomach. Just make my life a living hell, please    be my guest. Justice is **** Keep an eye on me, in case I start to get    happy again. That could be a problem. Key word: Target. Love is foreign now. Lonely is not. My days are black. Are you happy now? Maybe your life is **** so you have to make    my life the same. Never has someone hated me so much    just for being alive. Nice welcome to high school. "Oh who would ever give a **** about you?" Obviously, no one. Please... Please... People, why can't you see me?! "Queen ***** I call you. "Queen of the rats" you call me. Running, running, running again. Running in vain for you will only get me later. Sometimes I can avoid you, or manage to get away with     only a shove or an insult. Stay and beat me if you want, if it makes you feel better    because I am giving up for now. "Tomorrow, today won't seem so long" I tell myself. Tell me help is coming. Underdogs always win in the end right? Under your power is not where I thought I would be. Vacant are my eyes, for you have driven my soul away. Vandalized locker, I know it was you. When will I be safe? What did I ever do to you? Xanax would be perfect to OD on. You're a monster… But you have all the power. Zero Bullying Tolerance, that's    ********

We live in an endless masquerade Dancing to the same song in the Same clothes but we change one thing. We change our masks after every song And we hide our true identity from the Other guests at this masquerade. We hide ourselves from our friends And we hide ourselves from our family. We hide ourselves from the most important People at the masquerade: ourselves. Every time we put a different mask on We become someone we’re really not Because we want to be that person or Because everyone will like us if we’re That person and not our true selves. We change masks to hide the scars Of our past and the pain we feel now Sometimes people will like us if we Only show the good and not the bad Because the bad hurts not only us but them. We were bullied when we were young By our “friends” in school or at the park. They called us names like *** or ****** Or push us down the stairs or into lockers Or they call us fat because we are not skinny. They call us names because they think they Know us but they really don’t because we Wear masks at this masquerade even when We are bullied to hide our true emotions. We wear masks because of these scars. We change our masks because we don’t want Everyone to know what we do or how we act When we’re home with our family or friends. In the masquerade we are friendly and nice but At home we abuse our spouses or kids or friends. We abuse them verbally or physically Because we are drunk or we lost our jobs. We scream at the top of our lungs because That’s the only way we know how to relax. That’s us when we’re not at the masquerade. We lost our best friend from high school Because he or she decided to commit suicide. That was in the past but it felt like this morning so We change masks to hide the pain we are feeling With every passing second because we miss him or her. Our world is an endless masquerade without an end As we dance the dance of hiding our true identity from Everyone we see with every change of the masks but Our song is still the same. It’s the song of heartbreak Because in this masquerade all we feel is pain and sadness. We lose our true selves with each mask unless we, With the help of someone, remove our masks and Put an end to this never ending masquerade so we Can live our lives the way we want to…as ourselves. Until then, we dance the dance and change the mask. Welcome to the Masquerade.

He sold his pure soul for a fiver, maybe, the price of a cuppa tea, sold it to the man of bonds, of stocks and shares, who had no cares, The customer, he wanted a *** or a **** wasn't sure which, either would do. Glimpsed him out the side of his eye, what he didn't note was that he cried, He didn't care the callous man, Gets satisfaction however he can. Girl child, boy child, one thing for certain, he gave not a **** He was selfish and cold, his currency was gold, pure gold the purity of just past infancy, crowding in the shopping mall. The by-passers wanted to intervene, unable to believe the things that they'd seen. Day by day, still the stay, They should still be free and able to play. It's life in London, so they say, Living pain day by day. Thought that they may find the streets paved with golden kisses, Home again the other side, the punter hugs his Missus. (C) Livvi

TRADING ***
Coffee on my breath, wearing a frown. Sunshine, my sweater, my soul turns brown. Lips slick with chapstick, chics' licking sack n' **** drag off a ******* *** n' lean, obscene in the sense, the ******* fags' a drag queen. Rival the bible, hell to sell any, whats worse, church bells smell ugly under my nose. I chose the shallow dirt road to death, even the tallest tales hail the same frail fate. Fill my urn to earn my fill, **** it. There is no still frame to capture the moment, fracture the film and leave it alone. Yellow toned, below me, sallow, cornered in color coordinates. Drenched cover but dry at the core of it; dazzled by **** dazzled by diction, you write the dirtiest fiction and I'm the ******* ***** in it. Leather bound, cable wound, leather bound. Black. Leather.

I still take a *** Every now and again ...... More like whenever I possibly can. Anxiety is up Depression in such a down I am such a joke, Circling around and around. Nicotine You little fiend You calm me down, And rot my teeth I know I regret it, But every time we meet, The twitches stop And my mind stops it's rot I'll still take a *** Every now and again I'll smoke them slow I'll smoke them fast Until my body is smoke and ash.

Smoke and Ash
Dysphoria, what does it feel like? They sigh, trying to find a single sentence for years of caged silence. Identity: Female Stuck in the wrong way To me it’s a sense of nothing will ever be right The feeling of being in extreme danger Like you’re about to die Identity: Male All I can say is This isn’t me The feeling is a long and windy explanation of Disassociation There are things about me that I don’t associate with myself And it’s weird and confusing When I become aware of them Identity: **** A drag queen? Trans fluid. Dysphoria... It's a lot like, Anger, Betrayal, An itch Like a really itchy sweater, You can’t take it off And the longer you have to wear it the worse it gets You start to hate yourself because You’re the one that put the sweater on in the first place They say we are ill Broken ****** *** “Butch” It’s not correct When they say it’s their right to say those That’s when I get mad If there is no way to make the mind conform to the body You must make the body conform to the mind If they think it’s their right to tell other people that their identity is wrong, Then they are ill and broken They have no f**king clue And I know, I can’t tell them they’re wrong Without telling them why But I realize Explaining this is futile With closed minded people Bathrooms need to change, Health care needs to change, Identification needs to change People are forced to “pick one” Trans-phobia shouldn’t be tolerated Mental health care shouldn’t be because it’s a “defect” Social pressure, Internalized oppression, Abuse, Shouldn’t Be Tolerated Politicians have got it the wrong way around One in two transgender persons have experienced ****** assault One. In. Two. They say, “We don’t want men undercover spying on our women and children” You think they are in there to spy or **** Name more than two cases in the last 25 years Where a transgender person has sexually abused a woman in the ladies bathroom You can’t But give me five minutes, and I can come up with five to eight names of transgender people That have been assaulted in bathrooms since 2019 started But our Pride cannot be destroyed It’s our strength A feeling of belonging A belief that we can change this We are not alone. We Are Not Alone. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

You wonder why my name is spaghetti, It's sounds funny to you. Not quite a long story, But it's all very true. Our tale begins, When I was quite young, Right when spring, had just sprung. Living with my aunt, At the age of two, She brought me to preschool, In her liberal Subaru. My parents left me, If you were curious. They went off to help illegal-aliens, which made me quite furious. Anyway, when I got to my class, We did a bunch of useless work, While the teacher sat fat on her *** After reading some **** called Cat in the Hat, we all went for lunch, to eat some crap. All was going well, In that brick-enclosed hell, but all went wrong with a single song. Some ****** turned on, Some pop music, We all got mad, At that stupid ***** I had enough already, Since my parents had left me, And I was stuck with a woman, Who voted for Hillary. So I got out of my seat, And walked right to the kid, Took my lunch out of my bag, And opened the lid. Inside held the spaghetti, That I was planning to eat. I grasped it in my hand, And planted my feet. I grabbed the fag's neck, shoved the spaghetti down his throat, And before I knew it, He started to choke. Through his espohogus, very far down, The blood gushed out of his mouth, And onto the ground. The kid's eyes rolled back, into his head, until they were white, I knew he was dead. Even though it was over, I continued to go, And throw his body, Out the nearest window. My classmates watched in horror, as the body fell down, Into the road, without making a sound. Then in the street a dump truck went by, Running over the body, And my classmates started to cry. They will never forget that wonderful day. "He killed a kid with spaghetti!" They all started to say.

+ A bed-sits high and dry,marooned on a sandbank of night. As radio 4-casts its nets to isolated ships like me that rudderless drift on into the light. Still dark outside,no sounds,save the distant echoing bark of a hungry fox ----streets away. Another dawn ripped blackbin bag of a day creeps and ouzes in Heavy unfocused lids fogged in the steamy smokeyness of tea and a first fag plenty of time plenty of time. Time before the world wakes to the morning pips and its flushing, brushing, rushing sounds A greyness gathers just beyound my pained curtains, as with a silent sigh a roosted blackbird clears its fasted throat. Then as if by magic I 'm carried, scimming high above and beyound this mooring set in a silvered sea,on a welcomed mantra known to all. As if a calling pray at day break,following each word in a moment subline Un angle vole un angle vole. Rockall - Malin - Hebrides Humber - Fisher - German bight Thames - Dover - Wight. Each single secert understood and noted only by a few as I glide over in paced, pausey surf rolling words North northeast - 994 - Falling slowly - Low pressure moving away - Gales 8 very poor - Backing 3-4 later - Mainly good - Becoming variable - Syclonic later - Increasing 6-7 mainly west - Swally showers for a time - Fair - Good. Oh so good, each pure English comforting sounds heard over lapping waves of air. The bushy wet nosed fox sulks and cowers away from the breaking sun, as the blackbird draws a dewdropped breath though golden nib and tapping gently, call a hidden choir into song just for me. Reminding me of the things I'd for gotten I care about. Sharp timed unwelcomed pips flood the ears to prise open sticky eyes from promised dreams and spoon-cuddles warm As I set forth on wetted pavements, ready to decline into my charted day. Yet smiling as if blessed and no longer alone But filled with early morning salty thoughts of strangers I have yet to meet

I lurk on social media. I post all day and night. It strokes and stokes my ego to pick a verbal fight. When I see inspiring stories or such videos I watch, my cruel and vicious comments will take them down a notch. Oh feel my power and my wrath, my insults, mean and shocking, like "Loser", "Snowflake", ****** *** (do you tremble at my mocking?) I hate the world, I loathe myself, my friends all went away. Girls say I'm scary and a creep. My rage grows every day. My impotence consumes me, I respond with posts of rage. Anonymous through GMail and my fake Facebook page. My hatred grows as my soul shrinks and so my spleen I vent. Safe, deep within my bunker, down in my mom's basement.

Social Media Troll
Just one bat of her lashes, and every neuron in my brain was conspiring to steal her heart. So I became a thief. I become a lot of things in an instant, the way a chameleon changes colors. Her heart was reduced to a jewel, courting became a heist, and possession was just the *** afterwards. She was nothing more than a crime. A terrible thing that I committed.

Criminals
We are groups of people made to hate because of who we love not what we stand for. Did no one listen to your parents? You treat others how you want to be treated not throwing beer bottles and whining when it misses their head not coming at them with a knife because a man is holding a man's hand. We are taught as kids being gay isn't okay. You could be a murderer but you can't love another man. Why? Why can't I love who I love. People would rather have a man dying alone in the hospital because his boyfriend of 35 years isn't his husband than letting love flourish. People would rather **** us off than understand. People would have broken homes where kids come home to beatings their head shoved in an oven ***** molested beaten to a pulp cigars burned out on their arms and hit with beer bottles to the point of being broken than to let a happily loving couple of two men to have that child. They would rather see a red sea of bodies than to allow us to live. People would rather say ****** "fruitcake" *** "fairy" and watch their child slit his wrist for every time he looks at a man and feels a twinge of love than to let him be happy. They would rather torcher and torment children to the point of mental breakdowns rushing blood soar throats living alone on the streets no love pretending. Than to let them be them. People love purple that it means freedom but I like the rainbow. Rainbows have a million colours and not one colour is quite the same hue. No one hates rainbows or the gorgeous colours it has. Not many notice the differences of them so, why can't everyone treat other people like we're rainbows?
