It's frustrating
That no one understands
What's in my heart
Everyone shy's away from the topic
A fear engrained at birth
As if saying the word will corrupt them

This is the reason teen suicide is high
These kids don't feel safe
With so much prejudice
They and I feel worthless
When you call us names
We don't take fag, d*ke, or homo lightly

We hear all these words
It hurts us
In the same way the "N" word
Affects an African American
It's a double standard
Why do we get the short end?

Just because we aren't the norm
Doesn't mean we are wrong
We aren't that different
Even though you say we are
We are humans
We have feelings
