I thought I'd left it all behind  
I thought that I'd forgot
My life was easy now I'm old  
Happy with my toys  
And then I saw Blue Neighborhood  
And I remembered everything  
Every crushing moment  
when they tore away
what we're meant to be  
Many times over they tore  
Blue Neighborhood  
Wasted our lives in sad aloneness  
Beat us till we couldn't be ourselves  
Nor someone else who wasn't us  
They told us more about mortal sin  
than ever could be true  
I hate them still  
I still love you  
Wherever you have gone away  
Wherever I have too  
We lost

written after seeing a series of three song videos by Troye Sivan, all part of 'Blue Neighborhood', not yet released as hard copy, but coming soon

It's hard to select a category amongst deviantArt's choices. Considering that it's based on memories of my own life, and also expresses those of many more people who are minorities of their general culture, I'd say it should be Literature, poetry, non-fiction, memoir, free verse. But that isn't available, so I'll just choose the usual: general poetry>free verse
