“I asked you to love me.
You asked me to die.
I asked you to treat me equally.
You asked me to obey.
I asked you to treat me as a human.
You asked me to be a sub-human.
I wanted love.
You want hate.
I want my human status.
You want my subhuman status.
But still, I love you.
Even though you killed me”
