Please tell me why no one cares when we cry
No second glances as you pass us by
Aren’t I a person too?
Just because we’re different, doesn’t mean we’re not here
Hidden on the inside, and frozen with fear
We just want to be free and not have to worry
About the danger we face, being who we’re meant to be
Can’t you hear us crying? Can’t you see us dying?

I tried to make the ending happy but it’s hard to be positive about the subject I decided to write about.
The hate that the Lgbt+ community is still strong. It is still illegal to be lgbt in many countries. In some of the States, it is legal to use someone’s sexuality/gender identity as a defense for m*rdering a person. H0mophobic environments/ family members are the cause for many lgbt su*cides.
Many of us live in fear and shame of who we are. This is not okay. This is a problem. We need to fix it.
