They see my brown skin as fur
As a wild animals coat
They see my calloused hands as claws
Ready to shred their civilized society
But I am human
They see the accent in my name
As a mark of the beast
They hear my broken english as a growl
A way to sink my fangs into their perfect language
But I am human
They see my culture as chaos
A storm threatening their calm
They feel my presence in their land
And ready the pitchforks and torches
But I am human
They see me as mexican
And they think of a monster
They see me as an immigrant
And they think of me as an alien
But I am human

Why do all straight guys think gay men have a crush on them
I assure you I do not find you THAT flattering
Why do all straight guys think gay men are obsessed with them
I’d much rather be by myself than surrounded by your judgment
Why do straight men think gay guys don’t know anything about sports
Why do straight men think gay men want to steal their girlfriends
Trust me she is all yours
Why do straight men only see me as gay
I am so much more than my sexuality
I am still a human at the end of the day
Why do all straight men hate gay men?
Why do straight men look at me like I’m a monster
Why do straight men never just want to be my friend
