I was laying in my bed,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thoughts racing through my head,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then one turned to stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People like me don\u2019t feel safe,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They don\u2019t have a safe place,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People abuse and hurt,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They want you to cower and bow,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They don\u2019t accept you for who you are,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They tell you being different is good,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it feels like you must be a clone,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A clone just looking for a place to call home,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A place that accepts you for who you are,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A place that doesn\u2019t have those people,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are never caught,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Never brought to justice,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Always protected by someone or another,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bailed with no dilemma,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No one is listening,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No one is acting,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People are reenacting,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What happened in the past and should stay back there,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, we need to fight for a better world,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of equality,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of truth,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is no excuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
