Goth Hatred Poem by EMMA Funnell

Darkness surrounds me,
As I slowly die.
I long for you to be at my side,
So I can say goodbye.
I remember all the love you gave me,
You used to call me baby girl.
And tell me how beautiful I was,
When I'd give you a little twirl.
Daddy why am I laying here dying,
I did nothing wrong.
I know it't because I'm different to them,
The bullying went on for far too long.
I never thought it would go this far,
i thought the madness would end.
The pain is excrutiating now Daddy,
I know my body they cannot mend.
You always loved me for who I am,
You never critisised me for the way I dressed.
Why couldn't they see me the way you did?
Daddy I never wanted to be depresssed.
They never liked my black clothes,
My piercings, tattoos and hair.
But I never thought it would drive them to kill me,
To abuse me for my style just doesn't seem fair.
Is it some kind of contest to them,
To see how many goths they can abuse in one night.
So many things I haven't done yet Daddy,
But I am starting to see the bright light.
Don't mourn for the loss of my life Daddy,
For my spirit will always be with you.
Teach fellow goths to not be afraid,
I don't want them to end up like me too.
There's only one things you need to promise me,
Before my soul takes off into the night.
Help as much as you can to stop goth hatred in the world,
Daddy we need to win this fight.
