they call her faggot
they call her panty boy
they degrade her
do they believe theyre right?

they abuse her
they leave her in the cold
she is lonely
and the sacrifice is growing old

she has no friends
she has no support
and no one understands
what is in her heart

they call her a criminal
give her solitude for her choice
they say shes nothing
their words effectively destroy

she wants so bad to make a stand
she wants so bad to have someone hold her hand
she wants so bad just to be alive
she wonders if everyone would be happier if she just died

she has no friends
she has no support
and no one understands
what shes fighting for

she is tired
been slapped around too many times
manipulated
trying so hard to please others
lonely
longing for unconditional love
she is failing
watch her lift the knife, she is giving up
