Does it bother you that I wrap the word faggot around my neck and let it rest on my shoulders? That I twist derogatory terms about my fingers and braid them in my hair? That I display every hurtful word on the surface of my heart and string them up on the shelves of my lungs?

That I rather leave my heart in the possession of another girl's hands than that of a boy's?

If it truly makes you sick, then I dare you to throw me into the line of fire.
It wouldn't be the first bullet I've taken.

If it really leaves a bad taste in your mouth, then I dare you to strap me down to railroad tracks and wait for the oncoming train.
Make sure the ropes are bound tight.

Wash me out till there's no color, wring me of everything you find distasteful, pin me up to bare my soul, dry me out with bible verses and tell me;

Do you still find me pleasing?
Cut and paste my heart wherever you deem fit. It would just be nice if you kept a piece to remember me by.
