This house divided, plastered with labels
Ugly stains of prejudice
Smeared into the walls
The family seated with plastic smiles
Father ignores the knocks at his door
His faithful sons applauding and cheering
As the other child begs and starves for one hug
Suffering after years of inner strife
Stones thrown, and slurs expressed
No one cares
You brought this on yourself
Their harsh words kicking him in his side
Trying their hardest to change his mind
An illness that needs curing
He holds his head high and carries on
Wiping away the spit, hiding the bruises
Despite his eternal bleeding
He flies his flag high, placing shame in its place
Underneath the soles of his feet
His radiant multi colors blind the world
Burying his old and tired facade
Breaking out of his confined space
Being exposed to the calm winds of freedom
Breathe deep the sweet oxygen
Honesty and love , happiness and bliss
For the very first time
The key to your new life in hand
This is for everyone hiding who they really are... You need not be ashamed, break free from your bondage!

Love is Not a Crime!

It has a great flow, and tons of contrasts and comparisons, both explicit and implicit! Major kudos to you, this made my night :) Only need to get through med school :D
