I'm not broken.

                   "I can't believe you."

                                        "It shouldn't be like this."

                                                                                "...Awful...Needs help..."


I'm not broken.

                   "You need to stop!"
                                             
                                              "Why don't you want help?"

                                                                                    "It's wrong!"


I'M NOT BROKEN.

                   "Disgusting thing."

                                              "I can't look at you."

                                                                                        "Why won't you act right?"

                   
Stop trying to fix me.

                   "There's no way it will go away?"

                                                                              "You need to DO something!"

                                                                                                                                                   "We'll do it ourselves. There's no other option."


Stop it.

                   "Get out!"
                                       
                                         "Don't talk like that anymore."

                                                                                            "If we catch you again, I swear..."

STOP.

                STOP.

                                STOP.


You won't though...

                    Because I'm not broken...














Not yet.
Broken two ways. Broken like there is something wrong with one's soul, or broken like a shattered spirit - an animal broken and submissive.

Society tends to be quite critical of a lot of things these days, one would have thought homosexuality would have reached a level of acceptance by now but alas there still remain small minded fools who think it's wrong and needs to be 'fixed'. This notion is of course bygone to a broken age that itself is need of repair and for the most part one would hope has been fixed.

I found the repeated assertion of 'I'm not broken' to be particularly effective as it's battling tooth and claw with the clarion cries of 'no no you need to change' and all that milarcky. I find it somewhat inspiring that one is able to stand so adamantly against the source of objection and remain unbroken.

The last line however does show a sign of weakness, presenting a level of vulnerability which is present in all of us, adds to the empathy I feel which makes me feel all the more for the person in this piece.

So very good work I must say, keep it up and remember if it ain't broke don't fix it.
