They call us free,
But we have close to no rights.
To choose and to love
the way we like.

Some fear
Some back down.
Some fight
till they hit the ground.

Not me
Not I
I will fight until I die.
For the rights I deserve
And have rightfully earned.

If I make it to fourteen
Without you by my side
I shall will to die.

If I make it to forty
I did good.
And have realized who I am
And not who I should.

For I am gay
And not in that happy way
I have been since birth
Since I came to this earth.

Until now I have denied
How I feel towards the same side.
And if you object
Then what friend are you.
If you are family
I understand.
I never fit
into your band.

We aren’t that bad
We don’t bite.
But still some people get mad
To see the same sex holding hands.

Well before you judge me
Remember.
when god made the world
He made gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transsexuals, and the confused.
He also made you.
