My Gay Victory?

I know I am different
Why can't you accept that?
Why is there such bull headedness
In the world that I live?

Why I can't I be accepted?
What truely makes me different?
Should I laugh at you?
Because you have glasses, or because of your name?

It's The same damn thing
This is who I am
This I can't change
And as much as you want me to fall

I will stand
Stand tall, stand proud
I am proud
You may not realize that

And unfortunately it's taken so long for me
And All the while I hope you realize
But at the same time
I regret

I regret having taken so long to realize myself
Regret not being proud for so long
So While you don't understand
The pain, the frustration, and the confusion I go through

You may see me,
Upholding a newly reached victory
But still I cower and fear
I have just been defeated

I know I am different
Why can't you accept that?
How can there be such bullheadedness
In the world I live?
