A Poem For Barack Obama

I am not a poet. In fact, while I've been writing for years, this is my first attempt ever at this kind of thing, so I ask your indulgence. Bad poetry it may be, but it's how I feel. I offer it in the hope that its message will supersede its failings in style and format.

As your big day approaches

I hope you realize

The hurt that you have caused us

Our feelings brutalized


As millions cheer your victory

We cry for what we've lost

To return an invitation

Is it really worth the cost?


We know you just don't get us

We're those who you avoid

I say this as a Lesbian
