Just Lets Us Be

Me and you
You and I
We both are humans
There is no why
yes we are different
and yet were not
we've chosen our path
you keep us locked
you wont let us free
surrounded by chains
please let us be
but you just look away
you tell us it's wrong
so why give us shame?
we were once you
aren't we the same?
we all have bodies
blood, flesh and skin
yet you rip us to pieces
and bury our limbs
we once called you family
now were enemies instead
we are all humans
so why break us to shreds?
we live on this planet
equality you say
and then you just stomp on us
when we suddenly change
we didn't choose this
were born with it
what was once a bliss
is now at the pit
of the edge we used to stand
the grave that you dug
you push us all in
but well fight and well shove
those words that you tell us
we all know it's true
how about you try
to fit in our shoes?
don't you see?
this is me
so please, oh please
just let us be
