Many friends

And family

Received my words

Miss you

Love you

But my opinions

Aren’t settling

Lost

You don’t want to change

I don’t want to change

We love

Each other right

Why can’t we

Respect our difference

Why is it

You must be on my side

One mind isn’t healthy

One thought isn’t inclusive

Understand I won’t change you

you don’t change me

Then we won’t

Be stale and distant

Look there is damage

It can’t be ignored

We must fix it together

Or we both don’t have

A home

Better is family

And friends

Sans tension

Being safe isn’t intrusive

Providing support isn’t intrusive

Maintaining roads and bridges

Isn’t intrusive

Stopping someone’s choice is

So respect differences

We all have somewhere to be

And someone to love
