how does something so wrong feel so right


how does something so wrong feel so right

so wrong that i have to hide in fear

so right that i feel relieved to let out the secret

a secret so dark and scary to some

while i see it as a light

some see it as a darkness within itself

i see them, hiding in the darkness

unwilling to see the light before them

so here i am, continuing to hide

while others are fighting for the rights

the rights for not just them, but for me

and now i know that as for me, i must

stand up for who i am on the inside

i can't hide anymore from the world

and i know deep inside, that it's right
