Where you find out who your true friends are.
Where you see the change in people.
Where you get told everyday high school is harder than this.
Where no one cares who you are unless your 'cool.'
Where you will try to make yourself better.
Where your all alone.
1 in 12 transgender people are killed every single year.
1 in 12 i can't walk the streets alone at night.
1 in 12 public restrooms are a choice of being yelled at, or being beat up.
1 in 12 i hide behind my hoodie and keep my head down when im in "shifty" places.
1 in 12 having to wear the incorrect school uniform because "kids can be cruel"
1 in 12 you're not a "real man" if you don't have a *****, and if you do have one, you cannot be a woman, like there is a set of rules.
1 in 12 i can't get i job because if they find out i'm trans they'll use slurs in the place of my name.
1 in 12 living a lie because i want to be alive.
1 in 12 but am i truly alive, if im constantly hiding behind a mask?
1 in 12 is it too selfish that i just want to survive?
You hurt me
I want to **** myself
I want to hurt myself
But I wont

I will run harder
Run faster
Worker Harder
Fight through this

This hurts
But I'll burn you like fuel
This hurts
But you're a ******* fool

This is getting too emotional for me?
I'm not going to ignore the fact
that you might be getting emotional too

Tonight I cry
Someday we'll die
Tonight I pry
But you're just some guy

I've got friends, I've got family
And there's no way I'm the only
Girl who's crying in State College
Over a freaking stepping stone
69
Out of all the people who fell in love and stayed in love/
I want to find the one who wrote the saddest love song/
I want to talk to them/
I want to befriend them/
I want hope.

I want to quit feeling destroyed..
Because right now I'm a blender and love's been a blade/
I want to find the deepest lover with the most healed heart/
I need to know that I'll be okay.

Six babies born
Six babies nurse
Six babies loved

Six children play
Six children sing
Six children loved

Six teenagers driving
Six teenagers dating
Six teenagers loved

Six young adults kissing
Six young adults making love
Six young adults loved

Six adults married
Six adults loving their families
Six adults loved

One is Muslim, one is Jewish, one is Atheist, one is Hindu, one is Christian, one is Buddhist, all are loved
We are not so different!
Hey! I'd rather be the one to sing the song of sadness
Than to hurt someone so close to me, a friend to me
Hey! I'd rather be the one to cry a thousand a rivers
Than to hurt someone so dear to me, our friendship

You said you love me more
But why just now and not before
You tried to kiss my lips
But I said no, no just please

Hey! I'd rather be the one to go to the darkness
And cry alone and stuck the pain inside my chest
Hey! I'd rather be the one to be breathless
To wear a mask, to fake a show, to past the test

Because I love you too
But it's not fair my friend so in love with you
You know I hate this
So leave now, now just, please

Hey! I'd rather be the one to sing the song of sadness
Than to hurt someone so close to me, a friend to me
Hey! I'd rather be the one to cry a thousand a rivers
Than to hurt someone so dear to me, our friendship

Say my name
Say it gently
Use your words
To caress me
Speak your thoughts
Speak them out loud
Confess your love
Amidst the crowd
Scream your wishes
Scream your dreams
Make your reality
Better than it seems
Whisper your pain
Whisper your fears
Release the tension
Wipe away your tears
Open your mind
Open up wide
Let my love in
Let me inside
I feel like a child
of the moon and the stars.
Every setting
of  all my daydreams
Take place at night time.
But my lust for the dark
is not why I take
my Mother's hand.

I take hold of the moon
as I was already there.
The blackened mirror
at the heart of my home.
Its captivating me
all over again. Every time.

But the moon mother
doesn't see me at first.
Show me night sky, stars
I'm ready.
Mother, I am here.

The Day The Money Failed
I Just laughed

Everyone got upset
Their precious money
Had no more value

Not even as valuable
As toilet paper

At least
Toilet paper
Has a function

The day the money failed
It didn't matter
If you had 100,000
Or 10,000

The economy had shut down
Everyone was eating food rations

It won't be long
When the money fails

I'll just laugh
