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.

Coffee Mugs
It's a man's world,
you can tell
from the dirty coffee mugs,
huddled together on the table.
The lone water bottle stands above them,
imposing, clear and tall, as its owner,
Her pregnant belly precedes her like a shield:
a neon sign flashing "here I am".
In the elevator, two people dare a smile
while they talk of things they know
no-one else cares about.
They wear glasses and awkward clothes.
In this place time hangs like tepid air,
which no fresh wind can ever disperse.

BB and Rae's first...123 words
"Raven?" Beast Boy asked, knocking on the already-open door of her room. "Can I come in?"
The only response he got was a sob. He walked in to find her lying on her bed, crying.
"I'm so sorry, Beast Boy. It's all my fault." She cried.
"No… it's not. It couldn't have been helped." He sat down on the bed next to her. She sat up.
"It'll be ok, don't worry." He comforted her.
Slowly, she responded, "Beast Boy… I need to tell you something."
"Yes?" He said.
"I… I l-love you," she stuttered.
All of a sudden, they both leaned toward each other. Their lips met. He put his arms around her. Then, he calmly backed away.
"I love you to, Raven."
