The Same As You
I am the same as you I bleed red blood, I laugh, love too Why can’t you see that? We were friends before What’s the difference? You can still be my apprentice You’re the same as me But because of my decisions you decide to flee Decide to laugh and call me out my name Because of the choices that I made Am I a animal do you see ugly when you look at me? If not why the scrunched up faces the smell of deceit You call us “Fags” “Dykes” and “Disgraces” Get mad when we show our pride Hey, this is our lives and we have our rights Our rights to be free and do as you do But you be little us and makes us look like fools Well this is me I cry at times because of the names The rude things Can I be happy? Can I live? Without the pain The nights sitting in the rain Crying not showing the tears or pain I wonder how many years? How many years will this go on? Damn we lost another one Another human being because of your names The scrunched up faces and the rude things Words hurt Watch what you say Because it’s easy to say a name but, it’s hard to get rid of the pain
