Fear of Pride
by Brittney N. N. (Age: 17)
copyright 10-14-2007


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
Out in the world
You live in fear.
With a fear
Of the words
You might hear.
You fear the names
And the abuse
That follows.
Pain and torture
That makes your heart
And bones hollow.

You want to come out
Be proud of who you are.
You want to yell out
So they hear it
Near and far.

They force you
To live in fear.
The force you
To cry,
To shed tears.
They force you to hate
Who you really are.
They force you to act
Like you’re not
What you are.

You want to come out
Be proud of who you are.
You want to yell out
The they hear it
Near and far.

You hide it from your family.
You hide it from your friends.
You hide it from your teachers.
They force you to bend.
You bend to their thoughts
You bend to their fears.
You bend to avoid their words.
You bend to avoid the tears.

But you want
To straighten up
You want to come out.
All you want
Is to scream, yell and shout.
That you’re gay!
That you’re proud!
That you love
The way you are!

But the pressure is on.
They make you bend.
They make you fear.
So you rethink
Those proud words
Again and again.

Also I forgot to tell you but I wanted to thank you for commenting on my poems. I loved how you were completely honest, most people wouldn't have written all that in fear that they'd hurt my feelings but the truth is you being honest helped my poem a lot. Thank you.

Just a fellow writer,

p.s.I think I understood what you meant that was wrong with it. *Not sure* but I corrected it so check it out and see what you think if you want. Thanks a bunch!

wow that was a surprise ending! lol i like it though...I'm not sure if I understand the rhyme to the poem though...some places are rhymed and some not. Just a couple suggestions, In the first stanza you should probably change the second fear to another word, i don't know if it's only me, but I can't stand when things are repeated right after one another in a poem. Also I like the verses in the last stanza but I think u should make the last verse rhyme. Other than that though, it's a really great poem. keep up the awesome work.

I really love it. It is true though because the world is all about people trying to be alike.
Really all you need to be is your self, some poeple have a hard time accepting that. But one day they will learn that difference is a good thing.
