Endless Loop
What is real, are we doomed to repeat?
The sense of déjà vu
The feeling of moments happening again
The repetition of each day
What is real, are we doomed to repeat?
The days seem to fly faster
The days to months
The months to years
The same thing over and over
What is real, are we doomed to repeat?
The out of body experience
The questioning of who I am
The realization I am not truly here
What is real, are we doomed to repeat?
The urge to find the truth
The anxiety it comes with
The dissociation from myself
The next morning to think all of it again
But we are the weird ones
What a Joke
To hate someone for being human To call them weird and unnatural
To think it has only been legalized in 2015
And now what?
To see leaders still call it an illness,
for them to pass a bill to keep teachers shut about sexual orientation and genders
Yet they do not bat an eye when their Stupid religion is forced on children
They say it is up to the parents to make the decision about their upbringing
They think children cannot think on their own
But like me and many others I questioned my sexuality when I was a child
We did not have support, we were bullied, and suppressed our feelings
Things a child should not be experiencing
After time, we finally were accepted
And many others were finally able to be themselves
We were finally being accepted, even by respectful religious people
Yet our “leaders” saw this and tried to dehumanize us
And religious freaks believed them
That in their fairytale book that has been rewritten over and over
Says we will suffer after death
They worry teaching kids about sexuality is a terrible thing
Yet they are only teaching them to hate us and to harm us in any way
They believe in their false God and believe they are in the right
But we are used to it because there is no hate like from religious freaks
