We Are,You Aren'T

Prejudice against those 
Of a choice not made
How fair is that?
Can't help
Can't control
Love
Desire
Lust
Infatuation
Affiliation with the same
We are
You aren't 
You don't have to deal
So what is the problem?
No fad
No phase
Can't believe?
Can't regret
Can't accept?
Can't neglect
Please don't disrespect
The lives are lived
Whether or not you forgive
We are who we are
Without your support
Without your help
Without your love
Don't be saddened for our souls
For they are fine toothed combs
We fall up
Not fly down
We're not lost
Until we are found
The time has come
No more tears drowned
Silence is best
But don't let silence surround
