If only they understood.

I feel like I am alone in the world

I like a boy but I am a girl

They all call me names like a hetero

My own parents kicked me out of my home

I'm to the point where I don't know what to do

I try to lie and say the rumors aren't true

Why cant I be like everyone else

And be attracted to women like myself

I feel so different and out of place

I want a someone to be my saving grace

Some say I am damned

Some people say they understand 

Ive have seen cruelty at its finest

People are heterophobic and closed minded

Sometimes I believe what they say are true

They hate me but secretly I hate me too

Can’t We All Just Get Along

"Love your neighbor

As yourself" He says

So why must we belabor

WHO or in what WAY

Shouldn't we all insist

Kindness, love persist?

Hetero

Oh, no, I'm straight!

I've failed the world

Why, oh, why can't I just like girls

But boys they're great

I love them, I do!

So straight it is and straight I'll be

I'll find a straight boy just for me!

Dystopia

Journal, Day 542:

The Human race is doomed. Our society has pushed back against nature. And evolution for that matter. We can not reproduce any more. Within 100 years, humans will go extinct.

Photograph

Whatever happened to that cute old scene of the little boy and girl kissing each other? Oh yeah, I forgot. That was back when things were in black and white.

Unrequited Love

I love you, you know

Only you don't

I spy on you through the curtains

Of your window across the street

I see your biceps flexing, your pecs firm

And I imagine you placing your arms

Around my shoulders to comfort me

Tiny me snug in your embrace

But it's more than that, you know

Only you don't

I see a kindness in the crinkle of your eyes

The pursing of your sensitive lips

That would feel like silk against mine

As I threw my passion for you

Into that first kiss

And the next

And the next

So you would understand how I feel

I've written you dozens of letters proposing

That we meet and "try each other on for size,"

Only I've never sent them

If I got caught, they'd lock me up for being a pervert

And I'd be stigmatized forever

And you'd be guilty by association,

Something I would never want for you

So I simply watch as you playfully snuggle on the couch

With your husband

Joke and jest and act as normal as every gay man is

And I am jealous

Jealous because I can't love a woman

The way you love a man

And it hurts

Hurts until my insides twist into knots

And my breathing comes in shallow gasps

I feel normal, but I know if I came out

No one would believe me

I am tainted goods

So I hide inside my feelings

Put on the fake smile every day

And bury my true self

Where no one else can reach

Hoping love will still find a way to comfort me

Despite the abomination

Society says I am

The Outcast of Love

I watched as he loved you

Something I could never do

His hand in yours

Public displays of affection

My unwanted devotion

A love impure

An outcast

For loving outside my sex

To long for the forbidden

Your adoration

Give me a fragment of what you have

Let me know I'm not alone

That this world isn't this cruel

To single me out

As unwanted

A mistake

An abomination

I can't fix who I am

I don't want to

Pining away

Secretly tormented

Taunted by a love

I will never have

Hopelessly unloved

For loving you

Mr. Harding’s Class

The students tumbled into the classroom and sat at their desks. They pulled out their tablets, and propped them up for the day's reading assignment.

"Class, settle down." Mr. Harding's words rang out, and everyone became quiet.

"Today we will discuss an event that occurred more than a hundred years ago, back in 2061. Who knows what that was?"

"The great famine," said Mark. He did not bother raising his hand. Mark just blurts out answers, to the annoyance of the other students who never get a chance.

"Yes Mark, the great famine. Global population increased, and food supplies could not keep up. The governments of the world realized what the main problem was- the poor kept having kids they could not provide for. They implemented forced mass sterilization programs for millions of people, which resulted in an angry public and uprisings in nations all over the world. So, what happened next?" Mr. Harding continued quickly- "Anyone but Mark."

David raised his hand, and Mr. Harding called on him.

"Doctor Jacobi's vaccine."

"Correct David. But technically what Dr. Jacobi invented was not a vaccine, but a Gene Therapy treatment. He introduced it without people's knowledge or the government's authorization into the water supply. It spread through the population, turning heterosexual people homosexual. He knew he would be discovered eventually and they would clean the water supply, so he made sure it would spread beyond those who drank the water. It is transmitted sexually, and even through casual contact like shaking hands. It is also passed on to further generations, ensuring a homosexual populace. Straight people reproduce as an accidental side effect of sex for pleasure, resulting in numerous unwanted children. Doctor Jacobi made sure that defect in straight people no longer harmed the planet. He was executed as a terrorist in his day, but we consider him a hero now, because without him we could not have the paradise we now live in, where everyone has all of their needs met."

Alex raised his hand, and Mr. Harding called on him.

"Why didn't we all die off?" asked Alex.

"Very simple- as you know from your parents, when a gay couple truly wants a child and can provide for them, they have one. Some gay male couples ask a lesbian friend to be a surrogate, Lesbian couples ask a gay male friend to donate sperm. No unwanted pregnancies. No unwanted children. Every child that is born, is born into a loving home."

Jeff's question was next. "What if someone today, um, kind of has feelings for someone they should not?"

The rest of the class turned and looked at Jeff.

"Well, Jeff," said Mr. Harding, "There are some people that are born with a mutation that makes them immune to the gene treatment. They are then sent to hospitals to come up with a customized alternative therapy."

"What if that does not work?" asked Jeff, now appearing very nervous.

"Then that individual is sterilized, for the good of the world as a whole. They can still live out their lives much like asexuals do, but they will not spread their mutation to another generation."

"I guess that is not so bad," said Jeff.

"Do you need to speak to the school nurse, Jeff?" Asked Mr. Harding.

"Yes," said Jeff, and he stood up and left the room.
