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

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