Too Much

Everyone has the right

to live their life

without having to lie

about who they are,

or live a life defined

by someone else.

 

You have no right

to condemn us

to a false life

simply because

you can’t understand

how we can exist.

 

We asked for nothing more

than simple respect

for who we know

ourselves to be.

 

We did not ask too much of you.

You took too much from us.
