who am i
should i change who i am
to please others
or should i stay the same
should i pretend to be straight
to please my parents
or should i not
should i hide my flaws
or should i show them with pride
who am i
am i the person my parents want
or am i a disgrace
am i me
or am i someone else
am i the gay son who does not get treated right
or am i the son they adore
am i the student teachers hate
or am i the student teachers love
am i a happy un broken person
or am i the sad broken kid
am i the kid with hope
or am the kid who is hopeless
am i trash
or am i not
am i a ghost
am i alive
am i a nerd
or am i not
am i loved
or am i hated
who am i
i no longer know who i am
