STORY STARTER

What would a poem about a queer person's internalized homophobia look like?

Pride 20;Self rejection/reflection

I can’t be gay

Its wrong

Its a sin

Its a problem

I’m a problem

I should turn myself in


I live in my hate

Knowing everyone gets love

But the quirky girl

Who seems pure like a dove


Help me erase it

I want to love myself

I want to love others

I want to love again


I hate them in general

Though I know its cause

“Them”is me

I wish It were different

But this is how it seems to be


I know it gets better

I know it won’t always hurt

I promise I don’t want to hate you

Its only because I hate myself
