[hometext] => This is how I feel about losing my friends by being gay
[bodytext] => When I said the unsaid I expected to still feel loved Still feel wanted I expected everything to be the same But I was disillusioned Ignorant Naïve They’re reactions were that of judgment and condemnation They use to keep themselves close Now they are distant As if I have a disease Or if it is contagious through air-born pathogens Each of them are afraid Afraid of the unknown Afraid of anything and everything that contradicts what they see as “acceptable” Losing them is draining my whole body of blood and warmth The endless tears I cried and still cry soak my pillow and keep me awake in the night Emptiness overwhelms me, knowing that they won’t be there They are to blind to see the hurt they are causing They say they still care They’ll still pray for me That this doesn’t mean we’re not friends But I will no longer trust the untrustworthy They can keep their ignorant and “Holier Than Thou” façade It will soon be broken down by the harsh reality, which they do so well to keep away from Forgive them for their judgments and stereotypes Forgive them for tearing our friendship down so quickly As if I were never an importance Like I was just there to take up space and to fill awkward silences Seven years of common ground Understanding Love Care All wasted, a waste of time Seven years of worry Tears Smiles Laughs Staying up late, wondering if your best friends made it home If they’re hurt If they’re lost Or if they’re just doing ok A great big waste of time I’ve tried to make them understand Put themselves in my shoes See it from my point of view They can’t They are too closed-minded They are unable to negotiate My attempts do not even make a dent You cannot persuade the unpersuadable Although I know this, I still try Thinking maybe this time I’ll get through to them Just maybe they’ll understand They’ll see it my way They’ll come around someday Won’t they? They never will I’m fighting a lost cause Knowing, that in the end, I will be defeated But I don’t need friends like them Conditional friends They are there when everything is “roses and rainbows” But retreat when things seem unstable or when they feel their “perfect world” is being threatened I don’t need friends who don’t allow me to be myself And who don’t accept me for who I am I will not be overran by zombies who follow along with everything that is told to them These are people who cannot and will not think for themselves People who cannot change People who are afraid to make a stand This is my stand [comments] => 5 [counter] => 210 [topic] => 48 [informant] => bluoreo [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
