untitled(to you i speak)

by Antwan Fields - Aries

i talk but you don't listen, i look but you say i am blind
while i speak, i seem unique but im telling you something you already should know
when you look at me, my walk, my style, my talk, my file, do you say to yourself "fag?"
do you laugh as you point at me and mouth the offensive words
im sitting on this bench speaking to you and youre watching my lips move but nothing is coming out to you
coming out to you
acceptance to you is just a word. acceptance to me is everything
i would accept you, why won't you accept me??
and i tell my brother when he says the word that i am proud to be a fag
i like guys, and you don't
if you were more honest, and i were less forgiving, what would happen?
we'd never talk to each other again
nicole accepts me, and emmanuel accepts me
and you can't?
love is harder to find when youre gay
but you don't understand, nothing made me this way!
i didn't wake up one morning and say
today ill be fey
i don't accept that it was my chromo
that made me a homo
let me tell you right now
that as i take a bow
the skies have cleared, and im looking up
not even looking at your tent, w'sup?
and i am honest, through and through and i will go but before your anti-homo shit comes and before i do 
if you can't accept it, im done talking to you.

Reason for writing:

    my ex-best friend from grade school..i called him up and tried to talk to him
i didn't really do it with any heart, and we still aren't speaking
