I wish we were born with Lavender Skin Then there would be no explaining to our family and friends We wouldn't waste our time on those people who aren't our kind We wouldn't have the shame that some of us do now There would be no explanating on who, what, when or how There would be no blame on them and where did they go wrong This is something I have thought about far to long If we were born with Lavender skin We would have the same rights as our straight friends We could be married, have children free from their judgment of our sins If we only had Lavender Skin We could walk hand and hand anywhere we choose We wouldn't have to hide and pretend Things could be so much better If we only had Lavender Skin Maybe the girls would look like girls and the men like men I know there would be more acceptance If we only had Lavender Skin Others would not have have their lives ruined by hatred and bigotry Maybe we wouldn't have lost as many of our friends and family Why oh why ; were we not born with Lavender Skin
