Glass Armour

Sticks and stones may break my bones But words will never hurt me? Then call me crystallized  Fragile enough to break at your breathe You are no Taurus But your words form a brutish bull God forbid it get to the china shop I am that china shop Your matador cape is tattered and faded  But I wish you wouldn't let it slip I thought about coming out to you Did you know that? I knew of the young ignorance we shared. I thought  Or rather hoped That you had evolved out into acceptance But I've found you grew into secret bigotry  You may have never said anything direct But sometimes you don't even need to You mock my people's pride Calling it too much You roll your eyes at the happiness of people who suffered to be in love As you hold your boyfriend's hand I'm sorry the rainbow is too bright for you I'm sorry that you haven't matured But I'm not sorry for being guarded You have to protect yourself When the bullshit comes too close
