I could be yelling
Straight into your ear, yet
You won’t hear a thing
It’s as though
You see me, but,
You don't SEE me
Blindly following a religion
Just like the parents that you
Tried so hard to escape from
You say hate is bad and
Everyone should be equal
Yet you tell me that being Gay
Is “horrible” and they “don’t deserve happiness”
Because of this, I hide
I lie to you on a daily basis
Despite
Striving to be truthful
You criticize me on my choice of
Clothing.
I will never understand
Why I can’t dress the way
I want.
All I want is for you to hear me.
So open your ears
And listen.
