land of the free
Or thats what its supposed to be
 
Oppressing all minority groups
Stuck living in fear
 
Doesn’t sound like freedom to me
 
I’m sorry that i like girls
I’m sorry that i don’t fit your gendered ideals
 
I’m sorry that i stray so far from the standard you set
 
The standard that’s been in place for thousands of years
But times are changing
 
Things are meant to change
I’m sorry i like to kiss girls
 
I’m sorry i don’t want to be a girl
But i’m not a boy either
 
But can you blame me?
 
In a world where men think they’re entitled to everything
Where men are driven by anger and fragile masculinity
 
Can you blame me for not wanting to be that?
To not be with that?
 
For not wanting to get pregnant in a world where i’ll be killed if the fetus does not survive
For not wanting to be a woman in a world where women are never right
 
A world that make me feel like i always need to apologize
I’m not sorry
 
Dear america im proud to be a lesbian
But that label does not make me a woman
 
I am proud to live by my own standards
But not proud to live in a country of hate
 
Dear america, why are you such a hypocrite
