The same as you


Dear nonbelievers,

When you look at me what do you see?

Am I confused in what to do or who I want to be?

Am I in this "trend" and just trying to fit in?

I'm human, with DNA swimming through my vains with hair and finger nails,

with friends and famil I turn to when all else fails.

I digest the food we eat, I breath the air we breath,

yet why is it so hard for you to let me be me?

You don't know my feelings and the way I see

how is your life affected with what I do in the sheets?

I met my supporters and the people that care, I have a stong community,

and the law standing right by me,

We love who we are, we love who we want to love, and we are free.
