Reaching out just to get so close
Give enough and they throw you away
Driven only by beliefs you hold
Careless of the being you are
Your existence is a threat
Challenging insecurities
Unstable in the faith they hold
Exclusion, the only solution
Arise from the wake of judgment
Deny the vows that bring impairment
Seeking meaning in a love misplaced
Reclaim your own in a world of ash
Burning bridges, drawing lines in the sand
Tribal minded in this mental warfare
“We’re not of you and you are not of us”
Hindering the way of progress
Choking, dying on a breath so frail
Cast away the need for acceptance
How long will we choose to live
In the shadow of their expectations
