you never even tried!

by Antwan Fields - Aries

i watch with disgust as i hear about another family turning on its own
because he came out
you think its funny, you think its cool
but i don't agree
and you still suck
i wish for a flame 
to come and burn you
you say youre friends with everyone 
you know why youre not my friend?
cause you never even tried
i watch as society swallows up more young homophobes
convinces them its alright to beat up those that are not the same as them
there is nothing i can do 
i feel
i wish that there was 
but there isn't 
because i looked in the mirror and my reflection said to me
youre not even trying 
and i am only one man
but what else can i do
to be publicly out is to fear for my safety
fuck that 
no fear
i say that now 
but to all my bretheren i say
youre not even trying 
for we can beat them 
at their own game
can't we??
wait...
you didn't try!!
come on!
