And I can't change, even if I tried, even if I wanted to.
You have no idea how much I wanted to,
I wanted love,
But the love I crave,
Is like craving forbidden fruit.
It is a sin.
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion,
I don't want to be cured,
There's nothing wrong with me,
Nothing that can be changed at least,
Is it a sin?
And "God loves all of his children" is somehow forgotten,
How could God have created me this way,
But then only love me if I'm straight,
How could God have placed me in the wrong body,
Only for people to explain that "God doesn't make mistakes".
I don't care if it's a sin.
Rather than fighting for humans that have had their rights stolen,
Why are you just standing there?
Why aren't you standing up for us?
Just because we're gay,
Or we're not cis,
That doesn't mean that we aren't people.
It's not a sin to love.
