You don't understand.
You don't want what's happening with me,
to happen to you.
Two wrongs don't make a right.
You don't understand.
They shun my existence.
They pretend there is no such thing.
They think I'm only trying to follow some trend.
You don't understand.
They don't want to reason with me,
Nor support me for what I feel.
They take me to professionals,
They say I can be treated.
You don't understand.
I have limited time and space to embrace who I am,
And when I do,
I almost get killed.
You don't understand.
They see sin.
When all I'm trying to do is love.
