Literature
Cuts
Dyke.
Fag.
Queer.
Words I've come to know as name.
They jeer and they push and they taunt.
I give them no tears, no blood, no hurt.
I remain as sturdy as stone.
Underneath I am crumbling.
Do they know each word is a cut?
A mentally inflicted wound?
With every sharp letter,
I am left with another hurt to heal.
What does it matter?
Why should I care?
Their ignorance should not bother me.
But it does and it will, forever.
I am still a person.
Still worth the attention and voice of any other.
But they don't care.
I'm worthless, useless, beneath them.
I'm gay.

Quote
Why are you crying?
**I've lost something**
What did you lose?
**nothing becasue it never existed in the first place**
Than why are you sad?
**becasue nothing was everything I had**
Literature
Scars
I didn't do it to hurt you
Or to make you mad at me
I didn't do it to show you
The emotional side of me
I did it only to remind me
Of things that shouldn't be
Of pain I've had
Of love I've lost
And what someday
Will be
The scars I hide
For none to see
Are worse than these my dear
And in my heart
The scars I hide
Are the only thing I fear

this is for the saijiki contest over at ~the-haiku-club.
region: france
season: temperate - autumn
category: the season
kigo: autumn bonfire
description: the bonfire is suggestive of the onset of cold weather, and the close of summer through the burning of wood, leaves and human materials that are dried out / left over from the end of the season. in my haiku I've tried to give an impression of the link between the colours of the fire and the changing colours of the autumn leaves.
bonfires are also something I associate strongly with autumn/november at home in england, because of bonfire night. this wasn't the inspiration for this haiku, which is more of a daytime image, but shows another nice kigo link.
