A Brighter Future
I was quiet
But for what?
Why?
I love who I am.
They don't define me
I'd never let them.
I am not the person they once met
But I am happy to say
That I am me.
I was never true to myself
I knew, but denied
And now I can say it.
I am different,
I had two friends
whom only ever knew
And I was accepted.
Just by being me.
They don't define me
I'd never let them.
Words are what they hide behind
No one can say it,
What are they trying to find?
A way to deny it?
I am not straight
At least I can admit it.
I am here for you,
I did this for you
Our school will accept
Your future IS better
Even I will bet.
They care and want to know
You have to take the first step.
You are stronger than their insults and jokes.
First you have to prove it to yourself
I did, now it's your turn.
Breathe Heather, you are free.
