I'm More of A Man Than You.You say that I'm a disease,
that I'm confused,
or that I'm looking for attention.

You call me a dyke,
a faggot, butch,
or even "it."

You tell me to accept that I'm a girl,
to get out of this "phase,"
and that I'm not who you knew.

You yell at me when I try to use the restroom,
when I'm walking down the street,
or when I go to school.

Is there a safe place for me?
I'm beginning to think not.
Not in school, at home, or in public.

I'd like to know why you hate me so much,
and why you tried to kill me.
You know, when you tried to hit me with your car.

Are you mad I didn't die?
Pissed I jumped out of the way?
If so, please tell me why.

I

In school, she dressed in a crimson shirt. The way she walked screamed confidence yet her face whispered, scarred, burned, and self-conscious. Her dark blue jeans were torn and splattered with paint. Her black scarf swayed as she walked; accidentally smacking everyone she walked past. I was in love. Most wouldn't even look at her, but I couldn't help but stare. She was clumsy and silly, but she was the most intelligent person I knew. Honestly I didn't know why I loved her, until I was alone with her. She came over to my house. She wore a batman t-shirt and long blue skinny jeans.

Excuse me, do you have a moment?Dear you,
Yes you. The one who calls me disgusting. Unnatural. Immoral. Fag.
You. The one who hides behind that sad excuse of religion, hiding behind a wall of words never told.
You. The one calling it phobia, as if you're actually scared.
You. The one who thinks I'm experimenting, I'm trying out, that I'm just playing.
You. The one who pushes me into lockers and down to the ground.
You. The one who calls my parents to remind them of their mistake, as if it's their fault.
You. The one who used to claim to be my best friend, and can't even look at me anymore.
You. The one who knows I'm going to hell, and that I deserve no better.
You. The one who claims I have sinned, that I deserve to be punished - dead.
You. The one who wants me to get treatment, who believes I can be cured.
You. The one who believes I choose this, a life of hate and rejection.
You. The one who is sure I just lust, that I can never love.
You. The one who refuses to touch me, because of course, it's a curse that could

This is really touching, well done.
The left side of the picture made something resonate in side of me (I bet almost everyone has felt this way at one point or another),
and the right side is very uplifting.

I maybe reading to much into this but does that mean hope comes from outside of you?

*OmNomWutNevrmind Feb 12, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Well, I suppose it could mean many things. It's really open for people to interpret it for themselves. But it could mean that hope can come from outside you, like for some people things they love like art, music, and other hobbies are hope for them. Others, it could be family, friends, loved ones, religion, really it could be anything. But I like to think that the person in the image has seen hope for the future and though it kinda comes from without, knowing that things change and things get better is making them find the other things inside of them that give them hope, strength and courage to carry on, which is why the person is exuding the same light as hope. But again, this is open for anyone to interpret it in a way that (hopefully) gives them hope.

If that makes sense |D

~MuteAssassin Feb 13, 2013

Yes, makes perfect sense.

~314pyper Feb 12, 2013

I love that you have both sides rather than just the one, they each really adds to the other. <3
