The set up of this poem is what I wrote to explain my make-up on the Day of Silence. I had black eye liner down my lips like stitches and blue eye liner on my cheek in the shape of a tear.
My lips are sewn shut
just like thousands
of my peers
forced in to silence
and forced in to fear
I shed a tear
for those forced from their families
their friends
even their homes
All because of who they love
No i'm not gay
but I still believe
in the freedom of love
What about you?
