I been scarred and battered.
My hopes the wind done scattered.
   Snow has friz me,
   Sun has baked me,

Looks like between 'em they done
   Tried to make me

Stop laughin', stop lovin', stop livin'--
   But I don't care!
   I'm still here!

You are not your pain.
You are not your pain.
You are not your pain.

You are not what happened to you.
You are not what happened to you.
You are not what happened to you.

You are not what they did to you.
You are not what they did to you.
*You are not what they did to you.
By no means.
Say it until you believe it to be true.

She made me feel love,
only to drown me in depression.

It's like something set me on fire again
Expect this time it's not about burning
It's not even about the heat
It's about the light that's shining out of me

In a world where it's not safe to be queer
A world where people actually **** themselves
Because not everyone accepts how they love
It it could quite possibly be a very dangerous thing
To out someone, revel their ****** orientation
And I have to say, reveling that kind of information
Is a very cruel, and potentially damaging thing to do
And if one cares at all about quality of life, or even quantity of life at all
If one knows at all about what it's like to be queer
I urge them not to even consider such a damaging thing .
What kind of "changed" or "better" person
would ever contemplate such a thing?
Even telling one person you think won't tell could end up in a crowd of rumors and judgement. If someone reveals to you their ****** orientation, it is yours to keep safe. I know I said I was taking a break but I've heard a lot about this and have had experience and I thought I'd share.

I have no regrets, trust you me.
But that doesn't mean I don't recognize when
I've done someone wrong, made a mistake,
or made the wrong choice.
