Cries for Acceptance
by Chris T (from Jan/Feb 2000 Heartbeat)

 

Mom, got a minute?
Mom, help me
Mom, stop this
Mom, can’t you hear me?

In a minute
I have better things to do
Do it yourself
I’m ignoring you

Teacher, save me
Teacher, teach them
Teacher, protect me
Teacher, why are you ignoring me?

You’re on your own
That’s not my place
You asked for it

Community, recognize us
Community, support us
Community, love us
Community, join us

We hate you
You get what you deserve
In your dreams
Peace is for the weak
