Change: No More lost Lives
Location
They remember those days
Days full of pain
As their mothers wiped their tears away
They don't understand how anyone could be so mean
They felt like they are shattered
And their happiness torn
Did they really deserve names from so much scorn?
The words haunt them and Don’t go away
They slowly start to picture themselves that way
They sink in deeper and deeper and just want a way out
Not thinking of who they care about
They don’t know why they are gay
But taunters say it is a choice
As if they have no voice
As if they would want to be treated this way
Taunters don’t realize that who they torment were born this way
Hiding behind hatred from a few sentences of religion
Wow, their idea of being Christ-like is twisted
No more children should die because of ludicrous seething hatred
No, these children should stand tall
And no more should fall
Too many children die of this situation
More children need to be told they are loved
Despite whom they happen to love
This is one of the most needed changes
And we should fight until it happens
No more suicides,
No more depression,
A world more full of acceptance
I know it sounds too good to be true
But It starts with just me and you
End the violence
The bullying
The tears
So that more children won’t face missing years
Even though others will look down on me for thinking this way
I want to shout It from the rooftops
It’s okay to be gay
But not okay to preach hatred
