Gay Suicide
I’m getting ready to jump,
The edge is right there.
All I wanted was some alone time.
All I wanted was peace for me and him.
What I got was shame and humiliation.
We were aired for the city,
For the world,
To see it all.
I’m ready to end this pain now.
I’m ready for that push over the edge.
Lights and car horns honking,
It’s like they beg me to jump.
I can’t show me face without taunts of
“Fag” or
“Ew! It’s that one gay kid from the video!”
Following me through the day.
My partner, the guy I held so dear, is gone.
He couldn’t take it.
He left me here to deal with this on my own.
Did he ever really care?
I’m standing on this ledge now.
I’m just a kid with no reason to live.
I’m over the edge, I’m ready to jump.
Say goodbye to the gay faggot.
