Help me by Ashton Ard Help me, is something I wish I could say, Just waiting until the day I can finally be freed from this prison I built around me. Everyday gets harder to breathe, I tear at my skin ripping off the weights holding me back, making me hold my breath. It's too late for me to be better, I've been bottled up for way too long. I wish I could be strong, like you all want me to be, choking back my tears, I wash away my fears, hoping to leave no trace of who I was. Who was that girl, who everyone thought was a lesbian? I don't know, because that was never me. I forced myself into a box, girls wear pink, boys wear blue, Help me, is something I wish I could say, just waiting until the day I can finally be freed from the prison I built around me. Boys play sports, girls play dolls, No! I scream, This world doesn't see the many colors of who you can really be. I rip at my chest, I rip at my hair, why can't I just be happy? it's the worlds fault for pushing us back. We're people too, We love just like you, Help me, I whisper underneath my breath. The prison walls around me fall down, I stand in the middle of a field, A single rainbow stands before me. Finally, I'm accepted, I'm loved, I'm happy. Thank you.
