eboni paul - I am the.........

We are the couple so madly in love but we can’t get married because of our political leaders
I am the girl who cries herself to sleep because my family thinks of me as a “freak”
I am the young man turned down for a football scholarship because they found out I am gay
I am the person living my as a lie because I am afraid of their criticism
I am the guy beat to bloody pulp because I told a guy how I feel
I the child motherless because of her sexual preference
We are the people turn away from our church because they rebuke our kind
I am the girl labeled a sinner because I prefer the same gender
I am the son that was never told I love you from my dad because he raise not to show men affection
I am the person that committed suicide because I couldn’t deal with the world’s negativity toward homosexuals
I am the boy who hates his self because he have feeling for a guy
I am the girl beat raped and murder because I have I girlfriend
I am the person the gets pointed and stared at because I am a transsexual
We are the dropp out s that gave up on school because of the names we were called
I am the son that hates his dad because he left my mom for a man
And you are the homophobic people the cause all of our pain
