i envy people who know who they are,
i can't even decide who i am,
much less who i want to be.

people get beaten left and right because of who they are,
not who they want to be.

i can say who am i,
but is that who i want to be?

i can say i am gay,
but does that define me?

since if do say i'm gay,
i get beaten up for loving someone,
i get beaten up for my behavior,
i get beaten up... because i am who i want to be.

what does that say, about humanity?
