Society's Watching Me

A poem about how I feel as a gay teenager in society's view

Society’s eyes staring me down

Watching me hold my girlfriend’s hand

Making the people around me frown

Acting like we are a wasteland

Society making me fear

Watching me cower in the closet

Making sure others know I’m queer

Society makes me question if I should feel ashamed

And watches me pretend to fall for a guy

It’s like no matter what I am always shamed

Society makes me want to die
