In a world where we are judged for who we are
In a world where we are told what to do, how to dress, how to speak, who to love, who to marry
In a world where we must conform to the laws of fellow men
In a world where we can’t be seen out of our shells
In a world where religion, tribe, and politics rule over love and humanity
In a world where only birth mothers are regarded as mothers
In a world where we are supposed to suffer in silence and be forgotten
In a world where women and children are forced to remain quiet, even when abused
In a world where pastors and clerics are worshipped as gods
In a world where sinners judge sinners for sinning differently
In a world where your family can see you as a mistake and a curse
In such a world, all we’ve got is each other
All we’ve got is the community from all over the world to save us from depression, pain, and suicide
In such a world, all we’ve got is love from each other
We don’t have to deal with it alone
I’ve got you, and you’ve got me
We will deal with our shit together
In such a world, let the love in our rainbow illuminate and overshadow the hate
In such a world, let us love each other and quench the phobia within and outside the community
I’ve got you
You’ve got me
We will deal with our shit together.
