It's not just a phase

I stare at the mirror

I look back to you

But all I can think about is

What they said to you

You seem so bothered

You seem so blue

To be honest

I feel the same too

Yesterday they asked you to come back

And you refused

But you've been crying all night

I know it's too tough for you

They say it's just a phase

They say it'll go away

They say you would go back to them

But we've always been this way

What's so wrong to be us?

Can't they just accept us this way?

It's not like we didn't try to mold,

Fit into societal hold

But if this is what we are

Why can't we just live this way?

Who is the society anyways

To tell us how to live,

Whom to love ?

I can be what I want to be

I'm not confused, they are

So let my identity be my tag

I'll embrace it

Move ahead

I won't change

But hopefully one day the world would

Because love is love

And no barrier matters

I know it's hard

But hang in there

One day they'll understand

It's not just a phase.
