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
