You need to understand this about me
I love who I am with and who I am
But there are some things you must see
For me to even give a damn.
I am more than gay
I am a person just like you
I am capable of feeling every way
And I enjoy the same things you do.
Instead of telling me who I should love
Ask what I want to be
Ask what I do to feel above
Then maybe you could get to know ME!
Understand me for all that I enjoy
Try to genuinely care
Instead of telling me to be with a boy
Try to imagine yourself with my burden to bare.
I am not ashamed of me and her
But there is far more to me than this
So if my being lesbian is turning you cur
Feel free to look away as we kiss.
