Im just a boy
They like to call gay
Ive heard all the words
They say it everyday
I can't go anywhere
Without getting some stares
They whisper in ears
The pain I can't bare
Why can't I be normal
Be like all the rest
Why can't I be straight
I pray and protest
But the prayers do not work
For theres no one around
I wait for the day
To live in the ground
I try so hard to change
I don't like myself
This isn't fair
I search for help
I find a light
That guides my path
I start to wake up
I breathe and I laugh
I know who I am
I let it be known
The darkness has left
And my spirit has grown
I hold my head high
And my feet float off the floor
Push away the sadness
I once felt before
Ive found my true love
He's just like me
Perfect in all ways
We both share are glee
I accept who I am
Im never a fake
This is who I am
So give me a break
If gay is so wrong
Let these words be sung
Your important and loved
Gifted.
Admired.
Young.

Im not gay, but I understand how it feels to be ostracized. Share this with anyone who feels like being gay is wrong, is hurting or being bullied because of their sexuality. Lets get this treading:) it can save lives
