When I was small
I walked on fairy dust and
my dreams were as tall
as skyscrapers towering
above the universe
inside of me, was the galaxy.
I was born of the cosmos,
full of light and love
passionate in my quest to
give this to others.
But as I grew my star began to fade,
stars need love and light to survive
and deprived of both my blazing fire
transformed into weak candlelight.
At school I had learnt it was easier
to hide your light
than to stand out as different
and be extinguished in an instant.
So I kept myself to myself
at the back of the class,
knowing the answers but not
shouting them out.
I daydreamed, and doodled
stars on the corners
of my books, all the while
I could hear the universe
calling out to me to trust,
that we are all born of this
cosmic stardust.

I hate lying to people
But thats all I can do
For my own safety
You know that it's true

Maybe someday
I can wear my colours
Without any insults on the streets
Live can be hard if you are gay

I really try to accept myself
Yes that would be great
But I don't want to have a secret
I want to be straight

The straight life is easy
I had a little try
But soon I realised that for me it feels better
To be Bi

I just want someone to walk over and tell me:
I know that you are gay
But you know what?
For me this is perfectly okay

You are in my head
But you only think about her
You make me wanna wish I was dead
But you don't even care

You try to talk me out of it
But I am what I want to be
You can't change my colours
They are a part of me

I can't sleep
Since there is a secret
I endlessly keep

I'm just gonna look you in the eye
Hold your Hand
And tell you that I am Bi
