He walks down the street,
Feeling quite uneasy.
Afraid of the names
He might be called,
Has to hear them everyday.
Wonders when
The harsh words
Will be no more,
The day that he
Can walk through,
His front door,
And feel like a human-being.

The front door to home should be your comfort zone. Your castle. I'm sorry it was anything but.

This breaks my heart, to imagine someone so uncomfortable in their own skin, that they have yet to feel human.  My oldest son is just entering the "tween" years (not quite a teen), and all the controversial emotions are beginning to shows signs of their coming.  Your poem reminded me of how cruel some kids (& adults, too) can be.
