Poem

“The Crowd”

By Shavonne Bell

 

 

 

Desciption of Submission: “A poem that portrays the negative perspectives of society on the gay, bisexual, lesbian and transgender community and provides inspiration to simply push through the crowd.” - Shavonne

 

The toughest part of getting to the top of the ladder is getting through that crowd at the bottom

 

That crowd

That crowd

That dreadful crowd

who tears you down with their poisonous words

that eat you alive

and soil your soul

 

That dreadful crowd

whose stares burn into your skin

and leaves mental scars

and unforgotten memories

 

That crowd

That crowd

That dreadful crowd

who discriminates against you

and fall into the biased way of life
