gay

As a child, youre taught:

Girls dont kiss girls, nor boy another boy.

As a child, youre taught:

Boys play with Trucks, and a girl with a girly toy.

As a child, youre taught:

girls  like pink, and boys like blue.

As a child, you dont have a clue.

A little older, some discover :

they want to kiss who they shouldnt.

understand what they couldnt.

A little older, some discover:

what "hiding in the closet" is.

 why they feel like this.

A little older some discover:

Society doesnt think this is right.

In order to hide, they have to sneak out at night.

Even older some realize:

The worlds opinions arent always true.

And its okay to feel the way you do.

Even older you realize:

What you where taught was so wrong.

that you can be honest now, you can be strong.

Even older you realize:

everything will be okay

cause who has the right to say its wrong to be gay.
