Do the words that I speak.. touch you inside...
Does it matter to you.. to know that I've cried,
Does your heart feel the pain..of being alone...
As the evening grows dark.. and you sit by the phone,
Does the echo of laughter.. ring in your ears...
When you thought they were friends..as someone says "Queer",
Have you ever been judged.. for a choice never made...
And to be hated, and scorned.. is the price to be paid,
Do you know what its like.. to feel shame from within...
And be told if you love.. your whole life is a sin,
To have no control..of whats in your heart...
And to want to be loved.. can tear you apart,
To hear people whisper..of hate and disgust...
To be judged all the same..and live without trust,
As though it were choice.. and I chose to live..
A lifestyle of pain..with love I can't give,
Do you know who I am.. as you turn away..
Do you care whats inside..or just that I'm gay?
