this side of the rainbow

On this side of the rainbow you don't talk about it ssssshhhh you better not speak about it Cause you'll be kicked out if you do.
On this side of the rainbow they better not catch you better hide it good Cause they shun you forever if they find out.
On this side of the rainbow you better be strong better be quick Cause they'll beat you to death if they find out.

On this side of the rainbow you better get use to it you better just laugh cause they'll never respect you.
On this side of the rainbow they scream faggot, dick sucker, bitch
On this side of the rainbow they rape you just to prove their ignorance.
On this side of the rainbow we die in numbers everyday because it's no love for a black gay teen in black society that's Why I write for my brothers and sisters on this side of the rainbow who don't make to the other side

I like the repetitiveness. I really like how you portrayed this. I think it is very real. Sort of like how reality works. Good Job!
