This is Me

Black, gray, white, and purple
The colors of my identity.
Black, gray, white, and purple
Yes, it's a real thing.

It's not that I'm "just confused"
Or that I haven't met the "right person"
And no, you can't fix me
Because I'm not broken.

No I don't reproduce through mitosis
Yes, we only make up 1% of the population,
That's 80 million people
There's more of us than you think

"Have you considered the fact that you're still young?" You say
"Things may change when you're older!"
Well have you considered that I felt estranged from my classmates
And found a community of people like me?

Yes, we need the pride
Because I don't think you realize
How hard is it for us to realize
That we're missing something
That wasn't there in the first place

Show me where it says I can't be like this
Show me who it hurts!
I just don't understand why you have a problem with me
Not doing anything

Black, gray, white, and purple
I'll raise my flag up high.
Black, gray, white, and purple
This is my identity
Black, gray, white, and purple
I'll yell it to the sky
Black, gray, white, and purple
This is me
