“if I come out”


“If I come out”

I can stop hiding, I wish 

A wish is like swimming like a fish

”if I come out”

i can feel loved

love for who love, but really I just wanted it above

“if I come out”

i can be me, but is being me also called free?

”if I come out” 

i can tell my dad, but sometimes I think is that bad?

”if I come out”

the teasing will stop, but it’s only a matter of time until I drop

”if I come out”

my mom will smile, for a mother knows for awhile
