I come out and tell you

I have to tell you something

Of big importance;

You say you don't

Want to hear of it-

I come out and tell you

Who I am-

What I am.



But of course you

Don't understand-

Why don't you understand?

Will you ever listen-ever understand?



You finally decide

To turn me

Into a person

I am not.



I keep on telling you

And explaining-

But you keep talking

Over me about it-

And it's as if

I was put on "mute".



I keep pleading

For you to quit

Your attempts

In trying to

Turn me into

Being who I am not.



But it doesn't

Seem to matter to you.



You don't understand

What I feel everyday-

And why should you care?



I keep telling you

To quit trying

To force me into

Being straight,

To give up

Being a lesbian-

To quit being me.



I refuse to be straight.

I'm more attracted to females.

You don't understand-

You can't say that you're homophobic

With a serious tone.



If you keep trying to

Hook me up with a male-

I will run away-

And I won't listen to you.



Why can't you just stop

And understand?



Why can't you stop

And think

Of what you're doing?



Couldn't you just

Let it all go?



As I sit and think-

The only thing that

Comes to my mind

Is how bad you're

Causing me to feel.



I feel I can't

Live in the same house

As a person with homophobia.



I just can't.
