Day of Silence
I should’ve prepared
For this vow of silence
But I had no idea
Today was for alliance
You’re bullied and torn
And words are buried
By the close minded ones
Who make themselves adversaries
Why tear down others
Because of their love
Some dude doesn’t like them
Who isn’t here but up above
A coward’s excuse
Is to say, “What if it spreads?”
You were gay from the beginning
Don’t deny what’s in your head
We are humans and lovers
Belonging to the same nouns
You fear my love of both genders
Turn that frown upside down
Because I won’t love you
If you can’t love humans back
We are silent today
Due to the acceptance you lack
Dedicated to the GLSEN Day of Silence
I promise to participate next year
