SAFE HAVEN FOR TRANSGENDER YOUTHS!

by c h an e l - Virgo

When the teasing gets so bad
so bad it makes me weak...
I hold on just a little bit longer
So you can stand me back on my feet
When the word FREAK is written on my locker
and i open it to find more hatred letters
I pretend to not care just a little bit longer
Coz i know you'll be there to make it better
when they loot and beat me up so bad
Both eyes so swollen i cant see
I just wait to cry a little bit longer
So you can wipe away my tears for me
When they call my house threatening
saying how much i need to leave
i wait to pack my bags later
and on your shoulders i would grieve
Everyday when it keeps on getting worse 
i just hold on until i get to your classroom
knowing how seeing that yellow sign comforts me
SAFE HAVEN FOR TRANSGENER YOUTHS




Reason for writing:

    my teacher has one of those signs.. it made me think about the kids who might have came to her...
