They refuse to fit in
They don’t understand us
They hate us
We are held back
They should listen to us
We are not understood
Our way of life is threatened
We can not live the way we choose
Why should we do what they want?
They expect us to change our ways
We are responsible for one another
Everyone should do the best that they can
We have no choice
They must abide by our rules
We must respect one another
We must stand against them before it is too late
We are not free to walk our own streets
