I am going to a funeral
not sure who for
but it could be any one of us
when his men come to our door
We’ve spent our lives in closets
content with safety over view
but even that gets old
and **** we just wanted a fresh breath or two
So out we came
again and again
a never ending stream
but it felt so good to finally come clean
And now here we sit
under the jurisdiction of our new “president”
a man who hates our kind
and a vp who supports conversion therapy
So don’t you dare tell us
that we should not be scared
because we have PULSE to back us up
and so many years of the same old ********
We are tired
and scared
and wary of all
because who knows who could be the reason why we fall
So please
I beg of you
come and stand with us
hold our hands but do not speak over us
Because we need you
the majorities and all
to stand up to this menace
we do not want to fall
I do not want to go to funerals
that could have been prevented
so please friends hear my words
and take them to heart
Fore there are already too many hashtags
dedicated to my brothers and sisters
and we must end this campaign of hate
because we the minorities are all tired of going to funerals
