Why? (Free verse) by martysmiles

Why do people stare? Am I a fright? Why do they say mean things? Have I offended them? What do they mean when they say, 'You don't deserve to live.'? Have I done something so terribly wrong? I have never in my life been rude, mean, or done anything to hurt anyone. I go to church, I read the Bible daily, I spend my time helping others. I am honest, funloving, smart,caring, compassionate, lovable funloving and harmless. Why be so mean to me? Why all the threats? Is being gay such a crime? Why do you want to hurt me? Can't you see, I'm just a human being!

Lacking in power. It makes a damn good point, but any passing homophobes'll just read it, shrug their shoulders and go on much the same as before. Good effort though.
