Listen to Me - Spraynard

I see you standing there holding it all in

Your mother said not to interject in a conversation between men

You’ve got a voice but you’re taught to deny it

You’re taught to keep quiet

You’re ready to fight it

You said

I see you talking to me ignoring her

Our fathers said, «Don't be a faggot

Show her what makes a real man.»

We need to listen

I’m so sick of hiding it

«That's just the way it is.»

I’m ready to fight it

You said

«It's time for you to listen to me

I have stopped breathing

You didn’t even see me gasping for air.»
