I go by gay
Sometimes queer sometimes happy
They see me they don't like me
For they call my lifestyle a disease
For a young gay man gay and happy
It's an abomination
This world filled with haters ,judging me every corner of everyday
Do you think life is fair?
I shouldn't have to hide my lover from the world
Nor should I have to hide our relationship
Nor should I be afraid to be myself in public
Having to show a different face
Cause I enact the laws they have against my race
A race where I'm gay .
It's easy for two females to kiss and engage sexually
That's a turn on for the male species
For me and my partner
That's a death sentence
For this world we live in
Characterized being gay as a sin
I can't be comfortable in my own skin
Cause it displeases others
Am I happy? I'm not
Discriminated and for what
Because I prefer to like the same sex
Because I'm not attracted to the opposite sex
And yet ,I'm to hide
Because if I don't I can be attacked maybe killed
All because I choose to live my life how I see fit
It then hurts my heart when they say black lives matter
Yet I'm black and the hate crimes towards black gays are just as worst
Black lives matter
And I lost my friend to a hate crime cause his "gay stench" was affecting the worlds balance
For he was 21 and I 23 and he lost his life for being himself .
Come to think of it the police did nothing
Change that to does nothing
The amount of hate crimes on a daily basis
And for what
For some say "we deserve it"
What did we do to deserve being beaten for our lifestyle?
What did my friend did to be beaten to death because his gay was to much for this world ?
And I'm to be happy for all this misandry?
I can't be happy at all in this world
Work is sad and depressing
How am I to like my job when My boss is an misandrist
He degrades me every chance he gets
And gets away with it
And they do nothing
Work is hard to find being gay
Some people don't even hire cause they judge me by my lifestyle
Always reminding me of how low and heartless the human race is
For a black gay can't be seen in an area where through traffic is an everyday thing
Nor can be the face of an work environment.
Even with family
The closest and the only people you think you can trust
And the convo starts as "I'm gay"
And it ends with "you can't be here"
"My gayness" was too much for them
For they disowned me
For I had no parents or a home to return to
I was a disappointment
I was "dead to them"
As it was embarrassing to have a gay black son in the world we live in
It isn't easy
Being cast out like an old rag and left to fend for yourself
To the point suicide feels like the one way ticket to heaven
But even then would god let me in if I knocked hard enough?
For he written Adam was meant for eve!
But here I am a black Adam in love with Steve
Having to lower my voice to avoid sounding feminine
To changing my wardrobe to adapt to this day and age
Gay man ,queer,lesbian,bi,transgender
If life was different ,gender based equality would mean something
For the people who don't like us
And that isn't fair
Long story short
We all get some sort of exclusion from careers and relationships
We change and adapt so we can blend in seamlessly into the public's jeering eyes
Hopefully it gets better for us
Hopefully we don't have to run back to the closet to hide after we came out
Gay is my lifestyle
And I embrace it, I feel comfortable
Nothing should change or bring you down
Because they don't like you as you are
Always remember
Compassion has no religion,character has no race and love has no gender
Being gay doesn't give anyone the right to judge or hate
I'm the froot loops in this world of fucked up Cheerios
And the milk of it
Is my pride ..
