I wish someone would have told me earlier on that it was okay to be this way I wish someone would have looked me in the eye and told me to be proud I wish the community around me would have showed me acceptance I wish my friends would have done the same If this were the case, maybe I would have felt differently Maybe I would have turned out differently But Instead I suffered I suffered at home I suffered at school I suffered every night A suffrage so overlooked and unseen Disguised by feigned smiles and laughter I suffered in silence But, I will no longer be silent I will no longer allow the people around me to tell me who to be What to do And who to love I will speak out I will speak loud I will be a voice for those who do not have one
