Cuts
Dyke.
Fag.
Queer.
Words I've come to know as name.
They jeer and they push and they taunt.
I give them no tears, no blood, no hurt.
I remain as sturdy as stone.
Underneath I am crumbling.
Do they know each word is a cut?
A mentally inflicted wound?
With every sharp letter,
I am left with another hurt to heal.
What does it matter?
Why should I care?
Their ignorance should not bother me.
But it does and it will, forever.
I am still a person.
Still worth the attention and voice of any other.
But they don't care.
I'm worthless, useless, beneath them.
I'm gay.

BB and Rae's first...123 words
"Raven?" Beast Boy asked, knocking on the already-open door of her room. "Can I come in?"
The only response he got was a sob. He walked in to find her lying on her bed, crying.
"I'm so sorry, Beast Boy. It's all my fault." She cried.
"No… it's not. It couldn't have been helped." He sat down on the bed next to her. She sat up.
"It'll be ok, don't worry." He comforted her.
Slowly, she responded, "Beast Boy… I need to tell you something."
"Yes?" He said.
"I… I l-love you," she stuttered.
All of a sudden, they both leaned toward each other. Their lips met. He put his arms around her. Then, he calmly backed away.
"I love you to, Raven."

FINE
Fine
Fine is the word to hide all
It is the conversation ender
It is the building blocks of illusions in the mind
Its what every one mumbles
if asked if they're alright
"I'm fine"
they lie
their heads held up high
in false pride
"I'm fine"
they lie
when inside they
are crying
"I'm fine"
is always the last thing
on their mind
Desprately clinging
to that line
"I'm fine"
Fine is the word
that rolls from the tongue
before anything else
be it the painful truth
Or the sweetened lies
Fine is alway the catch all
its what we all hide behind
We're Fine

It actually took me a few reads to get what this was describing. Then I thought: Oh, yeah, it's obvious what that means! I'm not very clever today. 
Actually it sounded good when I didn't get it. Now that I do get it, it's still good, but in a different kind of way.
You should write a haiku that doesn't really mean anything, and see what people get from it. If you wanted to.
