Why can't I be me?

I should have the freedom
To be who I am
But there are some people
Who just don't give a damn

They say so many pieces
Of me are evil and sinful
But all they're really doing
Is just being hurtful

But who am I to tell them
What they should really see
Though if we don't stop the hatred Peace will never be

They take offense to kindness
From those they really hate
And they will try to force us
To take a path that's straight

They leave no room for error
And it's driving me insane
They won't even care or
Help to ease the pain

I want to be free from
The pain I feel each day
But there is no escape when
It holds me in its sway
