Tell Me Why

*sorry for bad quality*
Inspired by Jolin Tsai（蔡依林）
In memory of Yeh Yung-chih（葉永鋕）

現在是台灣時間2020年4月20日上午11點42分，也是葉永鋕事件發生後的第20年。
因為性別氣質跟大部分的人「不同」，葉永鋕在學校受到霸凌，甚至不敢在下課時間去廁所，於是他只能在下課之前提前離開教室去廁所，一個，而這個看似「安全」、沒有人會注意到他的時間點，並沒有人們想像的那麼完美。
2000年4月20日上午11點42分，葉永鋕跟往常一樣，在上課時間去上廁所，然而，這次，他並沒有再回到教室。當人們再次注意到他時，他已經倒在他的血泊當中，送醫急救後，隔天不治死亡。

嗨，我是AT，你也可以叫我Ann或安庭。
我是一位高中生，我非常幸運的誕生在2003年的台灣，我希望能用我小小的聲音，讓更多人注意到多元性別、性別平等和同志議題。

Tell Me Why

Lyrics by A.T. Shieh
Composed by A.T. Shieh

He was found lying in his blood
He shouted out his pain
They cleaned up the blood and covered the truth
His mouth and nostrils were non-stop bleeding
Like he wanted to say something
But they said it was nothing

Then tell me why he used washrooms during class
Then tell me why he never came back
You said it was a heart attack
How could the mom accept?
“Mama you have to rescue me
They want to beat me”
Why didn’t you save him before that unfortunate morning?

He was found lying in his blood
He shouted out his pain
They cleaned up the blood and covered the truth
His mouth and nostrils were non-stop bleeding
Like he wanted to say something
But they said it was nothing

“Mama you have to rescue me
They want to beat me”
Why didn’t you save him before that unfortunate morning?
Then tell me why he used washrooms during class
Then tell me why he never came back
You said it was a heart attack
How could the mom accept?

How many people were killed by society?
How many people have stood up for us?
Thank you for being sacrificed
Thank you for fighting for rights
Hold hands tight
Everything will be all right
