Never Goes Away – Poem<br />
by Abdul Batin Bey<br />
I feel as if my life is<br />
empty<br />
So let this be my last<br />
testament<br />
A suicide note to nobody<br />
All of my life I’ve<br />
wrestled with this feeling<br />
A nagging urge that never<br />
goes away<br />
No matter what I<br />
accomplish<br />
This feeling never goes<br />
away<br />
I close myself off<br />
Shut down the outside<br />
Why can’t I breathe like<br />
everyone else?<br />
A nagging urge that never<br />
goes away<br />
No matter what I<br />
accomplish<br />
This feeling never goes<br />
away
I want to destroy this<br />
image of God<br />
Even though I’ll never be<br />
forgiving<br />
Repeating the event for all<br />
eternity<br />
I’m white knuckling life<br />
Clinging to the essence<br />
inside me<br />
My cross I must bear it<br />
All of my life I’ve<br />
wrestled with this feeling<br />
A nagging urge that never<br />
goes away<br />
No matter what I<br />
accomplish<br />
This feeling never goes<br />
away<br />
Never goes away<br />
Never goes away<br />
Never goes away<br />
Never ever goes away.
Catholic School Boys In<br />
Trouble (Part 9) Back To<br />
School Senior Year - Short<br />
Story Series by Brett Butler<br />
This should be the best year<br />
of my life, but instead it is<br />
the worst. All I can say is<br />
that Pickles is happy since<br />
he has his Louie and they<br />
are going steady. I never<br />
thought I’d see the day that<br />
Pickles would be with one<br />
boy. He was always dating<br />
different boys and moving<br />
around from boy to boy.<br />
But to quote him at lunch,<br />
“Sweetie I am in love!” I<br />
just rolled my eyes as Luke<br />
Roberts walked by me and<br />
didn’t even look at me.<br />
Jordan just totally ignored<br />
me even though we were in<br />
three classes together. To<br />
make matters worse, this<br />
lunch period I just wanted
to vomit the Chicken<br />
Nuggets Sister Mary<br />
Margaret had made for us.<br />
Daniel came over with his<br />
gang of teen-age drag<br />
queens. “Well sugar, it<br />
seems you lost the two most<br />
popular boys in the school”,<br />
Daniel said with a big smile<br />
on his face. His gang of<br />
boys just giggled in the<br />
background. “I will<br />
recover”, I said with<br />
confidence, even though I<br />
knew I was falling apart<br />
inside. “I don’t think so<br />
since you are the lowest on<br />
the social ladder. I<br />
shouldn’t even be speaking<br />
to you.” Daniel and his<br />
gang walked away. He was<br />
right. I was on the low end<br />
of the social ladder. Pickles<br />
was my only friend. Even<br />
Louie didn’t like me. I had
to do something. So I got up<br />
and walked over to Luke.<br />
“We need to talk”, I told<br />
him. I could see in his<br />
angelic face that Luke was<br />
still hurt over Jordan and<br />
me. “There’s nothing to<br />
talk about”, he said. “I am<br />
sorry if I hurt you”, I said.<br />
Luke ran his hand through<br />
his thick blond hair. “Hurt<br />
me, you’re not even my<br />
type, get over yourself.”<br />
Luke pushed me out of the<br />
way and went back into the<br />
lunchroom. I fell against<br />
the brink wall. Jordan came<br />
out of the shadows. “Are<br />
you going to say you’re<br />
sorry to me”, he said as he<br />
got in my face. He made me<br />
so mad. I grabbed Jordan<br />
and started to kiss him.<br />
“PUTA”, Louie yelled out<br />
as he and Pickles came out
of the lunchroom. Jordan<br />
looked at me. My face was<br />
red. I wanted him. I wanted<br />
my bad boy back, not Luke<br />
Roberts. Just as Jordan was<br />
going to say something, the<br />
bell rang and Sister Mary<br />
Lucy came out and made us<br />
go back in the building for<br />
our next class. Louie came<br />
over to me. “You PUTA,<br />
can’t keep it in your pants.”<br />
I rolled my eyes and tried to<br />
figure out my next move.

Homesick for The Valley of<br />
The Damned (Final Part 3) -<br />
Script Series by Brett Butler<br />
Tommy picks up his shirt and<br />
puts it on. NADINE (CONT'D)<br />
I warned you about this<br />
happening again. Lucas looks<br />
down at the grey cement floor.<br />
TOMMY Again? What the fuck<br />
does that mean? NADINE You<br />
think you're the first boy I<br />
caught him with. Lucas looks at<br />
Nadine. Tommy looks at Lucas.<br />
TOMMY You told me I was<br />
the first. NADINE You're just<br />
one of ten boys he's stuck his<br />
dick into. LUCAS SHUT UP<br />
BITCH! TOMMY You lied to<br />
me. There have been others?<br />
LUCAS Yes, they meant<br />
nothing to me. It was just sex.<br />
Lucas walks over to Tommy<br />
and strokes his cheek. Tommy<br />
pulls away from him.<br />
NADINE Please! He tells all of<br />
them that line. You're just a<br />
player Lucas; the last boy was<br />
from South High. LUCAS<br />
Maybe we need to break up<br />
then. So I can do what I want.<br />
NADINE
You do that and I'll tell<br />
Mommy and Daddy what you<br />
really do in the shower room<br />
after the big game. LUCAS<br />
You wouldn't. Nadine laughs<br />
with a big smile on her face.<br />
NADINE I've had enough of<br />
these boy sluts of yours.<br />
Tommy stands between Lucas<br />
and Nadine. TOMMY Are you<br />
calling me a slut? He lied. He<br />
used me. I did not go after him.<br />
He made a play for me.<br />
NADINE Whatever! You<br />
queers can't seem to keep it in<br />
your pants anyway. You're all<br />
going to hell in the end. Nadine<br />
walks over to Tommy and spits<br />
in his face. Nadine looks at<br />
Lucas. LUCAS You jealous<br />
little bitch. He's ten times better<br />
than you ever were. Tommy<br />
wipes the spit from his face.<br />
LUCAS (CONT'D) If you tell<br />
my parents, you know they'll<br />
send me away to Sheep Hill.<br />
NADINE Maybe that's what<br />
you need to be cured. It worked<br />
for Ronnie, remember him?<br />
TOMMY<br />
You're both fucking crazy. This
is over Lucas. I never would<br />
have done this if I knew about<br />
the other guys. NADINE Hello?<br />
I am his girlfriend. TOMMY<br />
No! You both are too fucked<br />
up. I am out of here. You used<br />
me like the others. NADINE<br />
Before you go. Nadine points<br />
her finger at Tommy. NADINE<br />
(CONT'D) You must never<br />
speak of this. Got it? You see<br />
him and you turn your queer<br />
eyes the other way. Or else!<br />
TOMMY Or else what<br />
NADINE Or else, I will make<br />
sure; you get beaten up every<br />
day until graduation by the<br />
football team. Furthermore, you<br />
will become a social outcast<br />
and no one, not even the freaks,<br />
will talk to you. Got it<br />
TOMMY Too late! NADINE<br />
What? Lucas buttons his pants<br />
and buckles his belt. He then<br />
puts his shirt on. LUCAS What<br />
do mean? What did you do?<br />
TOMMY I knew you were<br />
playing me. I sent out a video<br />
of us doing it, and a picture of<br />
your dick showing your face<br />
too to the whole student body.
Lucas punches Tommy in the<br />
face. Tommy falls to the floor.<br />
Lucas kicks him in the gut.<br />
Tommy wipes the blood from<br />
his nose with his hand.<br />
TOMMY (CONT'D) You feel<br />
like a man now! NADINE I am<br />
going to be sick. Nadine runs<br />
out of the locker room. LUCAS<br />
Why, did you do this? I will<br />
end up at Sheep Hill. Tommy<br />
stands. He uses a tissue in his<br />
pocket to wipe more blood from<br />
his nose. TOMMY Because that<br />
last guy you fucked from South<br />
High was my ex-boyfriend.<br />
Lucas falls to his knees. He<br />
holds his cross. TOMMY<br />
(CONT'D) No God is going to<br />
save your image now. LUCAS<br />
You used me? I loved you.<br />
TOMMY You only love your<br />
precious image. Nadine walks<br />
in and helps Lucas up and hugs<br />
him. Lucas sobs. Nadine looks<br />
at Tommy. NADINE Get out of<br />
here queer boy! I can fix this,<br />
babe. Don't worry. Tommy<br />
walks out of the locker room.<br />
Nadine puts Lucas' hand on her<br />
stomach. The class bell rings.
