They Are People

They're people not animals
Not to be singled out
Because of the life they
Choose to live, not living
A life that goes by other 
People standards, LGBTQ
People has been around when
I was a small child, it's now that 
They're not afraid to be who
They truly are, it's their life
Stop the hate and leave them alone
Some parents want a scape goat
When I was young, there was a child
He would always play with the girls
And not the boys, even back then
He use to act like a girl and 
He had five brothers who tried to
Force him to be a boy but it didn't work
He grew up being the same way he acted
As a young boy
