No son of mine


Was what he said to me

as I told him what I am

he threw me out, on the streets and I am singin'

its who I am!

so what if I'm a demon? 

Ive heard you scream it all before,

am I not, a human being? 

Who just wants something more?

so what...

if I love a man?

if I love a woman?

i I want to be male or female or both?

so what...

if I want to live my life?

if I don't let them tell me what is right?

if I'm gonna keep and carry on?

so hear my pleas, and hear my cries,

Am I not somebody like you?

for all I am, is inside

LGBTQ, 

that is true
