Constraints imposed by traditions
Reality made believed a certain way
What is right from wrong?
We are not like them
We are atypical
Not damaged, not crazy nor weird
Just not conformed to stereotypical ways
Not conservative or straight
Keep your narrow minded thoughts to yourselves
It is real, it's not a phase
The world is toxic
I hope the people change
The resentment and stigmatization
Your affront and pejoratives has nothing on us.
The world needs to be good
Filled with people with comprehensive souls
Deserving respect and accolades
Our lives don't collide
We have our differences and impulses
On a journey to discover who we truly are
Our hopes are high, still we want it all
Gray areas and expectations
In river of tears, we drown
Amidst the storm we find our strengths
Now ready to spread our wings
Like phoenix we rise from the ashes of the pains of yesterday
We had to fight to pull it in our reigns
Our rights to be free, loud and proud
With blunt and brazen words
Engrossed in the future
Engraving our names in the stone of history
The world we are expectant of
Begins with us.
