QUEER




      No matter how accepting society becomes it's hard
  being a Queer,
  You feel your not part of like you don't belong here.

    Queers and gays are not sexual deviants,
  No, were not missing any ingredients.

    Being Queer is not evil or a curse,
  It's not something we practice or rehearsed.
  
    It's not a sin, wrong, weird or strange,
  It's not a phase or something we can change.

    No one should have to hide who they truly are,
  We are not retarded no need to lower the bar.

    We all have our inner demon and things we fear,
  Gay-bashing only happens if you’re a Queer.

    We should be allowed to love who we love,
  Two people same gender don't make a federal case
  of.
 
    From day one all we hear is that we have a flaw,
  It's like always getting the short end of the straw.

    Most of us choose not to wear a mask,
  Why you choose to be Queer the question that they
  ask.

    We hear a lot of we won't ask you don't tell,
  They pray for us were headed straight for hell.

    After all we are part of the human race,
  Your opinion shows all over your face.

    Black lives matter all lives matter,
  PEACE LOVE HAPPILY EVERAFTER….
