Humanities sin

Slithering tongues lash out unexpectedly,
as their sinister words wrap around my head,
drilling their way in.

Cold, daring eyes greet mine,
as I am threatened without words.

I am anxious to slip away
from the tension that continues to build.

"Fag!",
they taunt me as I stand,
petrified,
unable to move.

I don't have an angel to save me.
I am nothing but a sin to humanity,
a disgrace.

All of this brutal hate,
all of it only because…
I am gay.
