The Lost Ones
Oh the cries of heartache
We are too young to know what love is
But why...
is it because they don't want to hear of
Love that children crave
Or maybe they don't want something tragic to happen
However, what if I am
Terrified
Of how you would react to me not being straight
I am terrified to tell people that I care about
That I love them
Why am I so,
Powerless,
How come I have to be scared to kiss the ones I love
Female
Or
Male
Is it because when I was walking with the girl that I liked
Some stranger decided to tell us to burn in hell
Could it be because I don't accept myself
So many people fought for their freedom
And many have
Died
Fighting
For the chance of being able to love someone
Why have so many taken their lives
They gave up hope
We called them outcast
Disowned them
For being them self
In all honesty
We
Could
Have
Saved,
Them
We could have accepted them
Instead of murdering them for their differences
I will fight
Until my heart no longer beats
My voice no longer strong
my lungs give up on me
my death
I will fight with the courage of those that have fought before me
Along with fellow allies
We will fight together…
