neutral from marshall benjamin by M. B. Mulkey

it's had when where you're from
isn't safe as can be
for people like me
who identify as queer
and I'm not one to complain
or put make-up on my face
just know that I am here
and I'm not trying to start anything

I hope this finds you well
and I hope that you're not sick
cause I'm sick of all this shit
throw my body into an abyss
all around my face
oh all I see is hate
and I'm not one to complain
I'm just tired of the race and that's it

if there are people in this place
who can't be real where you were raised
put your hands up in the air
because we can relate
there is just one thing
about me that you can't change
it's that I'm here and I'm queer
and that's about it
