Homophobia (A Poem)

Closed
I see you
I hear you
I can’t touch you

Dark
I smell you
I taste you
I can’t hold you

Alone
The four walls closing in on me
Kept apart by hate
I hear your anguished sobs through the wall

Wrong
Them
Not you
Not me

Right
It’s you
It’s me
Not them

Closet
Allows fear
Hinders freedom
Promotes shame

Escape
Break free
Leave it all behind
Come with me
