Haven't You Heard

Well, you can worry that you've let us down And you can fret about preferred pronouns You can scratch until the pain is real Know that numbness as the blood congeals Hearts won't mend and wounds aren't healing The world won't care about how you're feeling Haven't you heard? Didn't you hear me? Haven't you heard? Didn't you know I love you? Bruised and beaten and defamed Derided, bullied and slut-shamed Why do they always take it far too far? You wonder who and why the f*ck you are? There's no true you, just today's persona Gregarious extrovert, timid loner Haven't you heard? Didn't you hear me? Haven't you heard? Didn't you know we love you? And we'll be beside you Don't let zealots and fools divide you Sorry for the mess, we were trying our best Our only hope now is you Reject the hand you've been dealt Refuse more of the same Burn this hateful world to the ground Warm your hearts in its raging flames Haven't you heard? Didn't you hear me? Haven't you heard? Didn't you know I love you? Haven't you heard? Didn't you hear me? Haven't you heard? Didn't you know we love you?
