LOVE
Don’t judge me by the clothes I wear, Don’t do that, don’t you dare.
The heart wants what it wants,
So why must you care.
Don’t seek faults within me,
To avoid your lies underneath. Don’t write my truths off what you see, Because love is my sexuality.
Mind your own,
Don’t pay me no mind.
Your opinions are my least worries,
You’re waiting your time.
Don’t tell me what’s right or wrong,
Don’t tell me what’s good or bad.
Don’t tell me whether it’s heaven or hell I’m going, Because I’ve visited them both right here.
Love doesn’t discriminate, So if you find it have no fear. Love is my sexuality, LOVE, come here, come here.
