What have I ever done to you?

To make you shove me when I walk in the hallway.

You have no valid reason but-

Oh yes that's right.. I'm gay


Just because I'm something other than straight,

Doesn't mean I have to be

The blunt of the jokes you make.


Just because I'm queer,

Doesn't mean you have the right

To laugh at me when I'm near.


This isn't a problem of race, interest, or age

Or The clothes I wear or the grades I make

Or even Whether I play basketball or an instrument on stage


Homophobia is such a strange word

By the context used today

It's not a fear of homosexuals

But shunning them because they're gay.


Because of this I sit here, alone and afraid

Not knowing if the torture will end someday.

What did I ever do to you,

That made you treat me this way?
