This world will not disgrace us
Tears go down my face, how could this world disgrace?
They say do not fix what is not broken
Yet they tried to fix me
and they tried to fix you too
They said they loved me
Tears go down my face, how could this world disgrace?
They said that I was defective
that what I was could never be
I tried so hard to conform
because
They said they loved me
Tears go down my face, how could this world disgrace?
I was told I was sick
less than
a freak
a black sheep
a failure even
No matter what I did I was never good enough
How could I belong?
I was invisible to your eyes
But
They said they loved me
Tears go down my face, how could this world disgrace?
Out of love, and compassion they cut some of us
They cut to make IT “better”
Guessing our gender wrong all the time
Taking away our pleasure
Taking away our right to be human
Scars that do not grow!
Hormones that are wrong!
They locked me up, and medicated me
They said they loved me
♥
Like a lion that escapes his cage
I finally gained courage
I discovered I was ok
that I did not have to be so sick
I did not ever have to be what you said I was
The lie was always yours
This year I have escaped the bondage!
My human right is mine
This world will not disgrace us
Today
I say I LOVE ME!
