Analysis of What We Go Through



No one knows what we go through
No one seems to see the pain we go through
Do you think we are not like you?
Do you think we don't have feelings,like you?
Do you think we like not being treated as equal,as you?
Do you think we like hiding who we are?
Do you even think at all about how we feel?
or do you just not care at all?
We feel pain, like you.
we cry when we're sad,we laugh when were glad.
We love,and want to be loved,like you.
Just because were gay,does not mean we don't
have feelings like you.
But we will never be equal to you.
We have to hide who we are, because of people,like you
Who hate us for who we love
Who hate us for who we are!
