Array ( [sid] => 136671 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Joe [time] => 2007-08-11 18:22:58 [hometext] => Just something I wrote about how people react around gays. Luckily the world is changing and becomming more accepting. Enjoy. [bodytext] => This is a story about Joe
His smile is just for show
He’s new to school
He’s not very cool
He doesn’t talk much
With his stuttering and such.

But they don’t know
Anything about Joe
He admitted he was gay
A very brave thing to say
They all laughed at him
And beat him limb from limb.

He walked home
All alone
Half way he stopped to see
The football team yelling overly
They called him a fag
And beat him without lag.

Running over to the fight
What an ugly sight
I throw a punch
Making the captain throw up his lunch
It would have been wrong of me
Just to let this be.

I grab Joe’s hand and run
He follows me like it’s fun
Reaching safety in the wood
He looked at me confused, like he should.
He calls to me “No one ever bothers, why you?”
I replied “Because I’m gay too”. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 149 [topic] => 31 [informant] => Karlee14 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => StoryPoetry )
