I so dearly had the right to speak,
But now I'm silenced by hatred's peak.
Nobody will listen or understand.
Why can't we still live hand in hand?
So what if I believe something different than another,
And so what if I stood my ground alongside sisters and brothers.
I don't understand why I have to be hated!
Persecuted! Why? There is no good reason!
I've been told to leave and to go kill myself now,
And so I tried, but I failed, and I still don't know how.
I've given hatred to nobody, so why do you hate me?
I don't discriminate gender, love interest, or what have you, you see?
So please shut up! Stop shouting!
Oh, please let me be!I want to be treated equally again and be happy...
