All this hatred
All this pain
I'm forever waiting
For the day
Where this illegal
"Sin"
Is no longer sinning
Ignorance is echoing
Through the halls
And up the walls
As the sound of silence
Soon attacks me
As consuming thoughts
Of those once breathing. . .
Heartache upon me
Ignorant beings...
You just...
Absolutly disgust me
We're all human beings
In another way
Or one
Discrimination is one thing
That should never be done

I wrote this on day of silence while having to deal with ignorant people trying to talk to me and say that being silent wont help and is a stupid thing

I remeber theday of silence. All of me and my friends did it, so there was no one to make me talk. However, my teachers DID NOT like it.
