Love is supposedly one of the best feelings ever.
So when I will get to experience it?
Simple, never.
It's time for things to change,
stop looking at us like we are strange.
I was only eight when I realized I wasn't straight.
I wondered if I was supposed to feel this way,
could I really be bisexual or gay?
Still, I looked at her with longing eyes,
because she gave me butterflies.
When I was only nine,
I realized I can get killed and die just for being bi.
And when I realized this,
I was crushed,
so I made a promise I will never be hushed.
What kind of world do we live in where loving your own gender is a sin?
L-G-B-T, four letters that need to be set free.
But freedom isn't as free as you would think,
and boys aren't even allowed to wear pink.
Just like girls aren't allowed to wear a suit,
but guess what?
I will no longer stay mute.
We need to work together to build a better society,
because the one we have right now causes anxiety.
Six hundred and forty thousand queer people get kicked out every year,
as they shed out tear after tier.
Almost twenty percent of hate crimes in America reported every day,
are targeted toward people that are gay.
Poland has now introduced LGBT free zones
- just look it up on your phones -
and America isn't much better,
introducing "gay panic defense."
Where you can get away with murder at our expense,
claiming it to be self-defense,
this war is only getting more intense.
Why is straight the norm?
And all of us have to conform to societies rules and expectations,
but we don't fit their applications.
Heteronormatibity makes people hate parts of themselves that they should cherish,
but instead they get told they should just perish.
They say you can be free,
as long as you don't love as freely as me,
because being queer is forbidden.
That's why we need to stay hidden,
unspoken of,
