I am alone in the world
I am alone in this world
A world so furrowed on conformity
it becomes an idiosyncrasy
Has denied me my love
Quoting the words spoken supposedly
from above
Drilled into everyone’s mind
As wrong and utterly sinful
He was the only one I did find
Who could face me not resentful
I am alone in our world
We are alone in our world
They prepare to give it their best
to tear us apart
I’ve snapped before given a chance
to start
What is this? A revolt against thy
own?
Why doesn’t thou simply kill me
Rather than expose me to this savagery?
What humane man resorts to this brutality?
Murder has never helped humanity
I am alone and unaccepted in this
godforsaken world
I am alone and unaccepted in this
spiraling vortex
The feeling of weakness that wrecks
my plans for thou and I
they no longer do comply
and I’m sorry I know the reason why
I wish that it weren’t so simple
and clear-cut
But I can feel it in my gut
It was too much to ask of this world
and its souls
They couldn’t accept us graciously
and with repose
We feel alone in a world where we
truly are not
We are alone in a world and we should
not
be forced into this state of distraught
We continue our uphill battle that
must be fought
The endeavor that brought us to this
The struggle for equality has plagued
us
It is not our intention to promote,
we only want justice
Something even today cannot be done
without fuss
Although eventually the world may
come around
I wouldn’t bet that any day soon
we’ll be safe and sound
