I needed to ask
I needed to imply
I needed to explore the possibility

I needed to know
I needed to see
The bare bones of your reality

Two women in a timeless love
Two broken hearts coming undone
Once upon a time they were little girls
Now they're full grown
Learning a script they've always known
Rehearsing till dawn
Lines forever drawn
Two women in a timeless love
Roles recorded on their hearts
Two healing hearts performing as one

We are the same
Except you changed your name
Except you lie about your age
We are the same
Except you wear a different mask every day
We are the same
Except you are ashamed of what I embrace
We look completely different
Due to the way you hide your secrets
We look completely different but we are the same

to all the ones who were pushed away
labelled a drain
by the ones who were supposed to love you

to all the ones who were bullied
to humiliation
past the point of reconciliation

to all the ones who were cruelly abused
denied a voice
refused the chance to be heard

to all the ones who are still hurt

i am here and this one is for you
