I can’t love him because he’s different from me
His kind is scary, bad, and nasty
….But wait
Are you blind?
Can you not see?
Mother...dear
Mother darling
He’s human like you and like me
Underneath the color of his skin is a soul
It’s alive and it’s well and it’s in control
He loves me and I him,
But you won’t let us be
Who are you to stop what we do?
Who are you to tell love that it’s through?
Who are you to take love from me?
Mother dear
Mother darling
You said find someone who loves you back
Find someone who cares for you
Find someone who’ll learn you through and through
Find someone who’s your other half
And I did exactly what you asked
Then when I tell the good news
Your smile fades away and your shoulder turns icy blue
I guess you forgot one of your rules
The one that meant the most to you
Find someone of whom I approve
