When I was in high school I didn't have many friends
Everyone knew I was gay and because of that
There was a group of guys who liked to pick on me
I tried to be nice and make friends
But the guys just thought I was flirting
So they wrote queer on my locker
Honestly, being gay was so lonely and at times…
I seriously thought about killing myself
I thought if I hung myself on the football goal
Maybe the guys would finally feel sorry for me
They would regret treating me like a freak
Maybe I would have enough friends to show up
To my funeral
All I ever wanted was to have a friend
For the men at my school to see me as more than gay
To not feel so different from the other boys
I just wanted to be one of the guys
