Listen To Me

I see you standing there holding it all in Your mother said not to interject in a conversation between men You’ve got a voice but you’re taught to deny it You’re taught to keep quiet You’re ready to fight it You said I see you talking to me ignoring her Our fathers said, “Don’t be a faggot Show her what makes a real man.” We need to listen I’m so sick of hiding it “That’s just the way it is.” I’m ready to fight it You said, “It’s time for you to listen to me I have stopped breathing You didn’t even see me gasping for air.”
