Please cry
I want to see your tears
I want to see your pain
I want to feel it for myself
Please tell me of whom you adore
So I can hear your secrets
And feel like part of you
And share in your trust
Please beat me
So I know you can hurt
So I know you don’t love me
Please yell at me
And get these silly ideas out of my head
Please rip his heart out
So I know you have no pity
And to teach him a lesson
Please get yourself raped
So you will know the true cruelties of force
And the rewind of nature
Please bake your skin
So you can get cancer
And know that true beauty isn’t about tan lines
Please stop eating
So you can know the pains of those anorexics
Or those who are sick
Or those who can’t physically eat
Or those who just don’t have food
Please work your ass off
So you really know what labor is about
And feel pity for those you push around
Please get pregnant
So you can see how you have abused sex
So you can see that harm you’ve done
So you can see what you have been doing
Showing itself in the form of life
Of life!
Please look hard at nature
So you can see and feel true beauty
Please listen to this
A conversation of coming out
An answer of acceptance
And a bond of love still there
Please tell me
What is so horrible about this?
Tell me this
So I can sleep at night
And dream of you
Please follow me
And look at the sky
And down at the ground
And let it all out
And let it all free
And feel you power of freedom
Freedom of speech
You can tell me anything
Please listen to me
When I tell you
That you need light to make darkness
A heaven to make hell
Rich to make poor
Sadness to make happiness
And in the end
Please tell me
How you can feel hate
But not feel love
And how you can see hate
However see no love
And touch it
And taste it
And smell it
And how you can make hatred
But not make love?
