A boy was born unto his mother
although he was not alone
he came with a brother
so much so you could hardly tell
who was who

One grew to beleive
that he was gay
and came out unto his world
not knowing what to expect
as anyone who takes that step does

Senior year
one day he walked alone
his brother taking a test
same route as any day
2 differences
one boy instead of two
and four behind unknown

The boys spoke
of nothing but hatred
spouting garbage
hatred of what the boy
beleived himself to be

The boy
remembers just that
nothing else

He awoke
in a hospital
wondering what he was doing
there

He realizes a pain
although dulled
by the medication
he must have received

He dares his hands to move
to touch
to investigate this pain

His fears although wild
are true

What to define himself as
can he find himself attractive again

Questions asked
blame assessed
body scarred
being scarred

"How much would you pay for your uterus?"
these words that flash into his mind
he doesnt have a uterus
because of this
he doesnt have much of anything

Take this as you please:

I was talking to a boy with the intentions of seeing what would happen between us.
What happened would be things of learning. On how a boy and his family move cross country due to someones hatred. A hatred that was so strong and blind to all that is anything good. That cause the person who harbors the hate to commit an act. An act so sick, its beyond rape. Its beyond murder. The fact that the boy whom I spoke to was castrated... I just dont know what you can say. He is scarred for life. Can hardly be touched by anyone. Including his family. Lacks trust for anyone. Can't find himself attractive. Can hardly trust what I said to him, when I reached out. But he has. And that made all the difference. The fire in the dark forest just gained some kindling and is burning a little brighter and bigger. Well see if we can start a forest fire...
