It is not safe to be me

Don't say where you are from,

he told me.

It's not safe.

Disguise your identity.

Hide.

I don't want to hide

I don't want to live under a disguise

I want to be me.

I cannot change my past.

Don't say where you are from,

he told me.

Why didn't he say

I love you

I've missed you

I want to dance with you

I want to hug you.

It is not safe to be me,

there is a war going on,

people are bombing each other,

people are dying,

people are being deported from their homes...

but I just want to love you again.
