The Labels Among Us

The Labels Among Us

Labels put us down

     whether we are gay or straight

we all have Labels

  That girl is a whore     

        because she has an infant 

  that is all they see   

  If only they knew

      that she did not have a choice

  after being raped

  She is always scared

      afraid he is still lurking

   around the corner

Then there is this slut

     who was taped having hot sex

with a group of guys

But people don't know

     they all gave her alcohol 

and defiled her

You don't even know

      that she never wanted this 

and will never know

  Then there is this guy       

        you think he is a faggot

  and spit right on him  

 You don't know his pain       

        or the rejection he feels

 from you and from home 

  He lives by himself

         on the streets or in a car

  maybe with a friend

  Because he's ashamed

       and has no family left

 who cares about him

If I could change this     

      the world would understand them

instead of hurt them

  Spit becomes a hug

        rude names turn into nice words

  and frowns become smiles

   He can go back home

       those drinks never got to her

  and there was no rape

If I could change this

       all the labels would be gone

and stereotype

We are all people

       we all fight togerher, and

Uniter we stand.
