Why We're In Hiding
I knew a girl who got her hair set on fire
Her things stolen, ruined because, a girl, she desired
"Kill yourself, fag." But is being gay so wrong?
Well, she listened to them and now she is gone.
I have a friend who is lost and alone
Because, at fourteen, he found himself disowned
By his father when he told him he was bi
Since then, he's attempted suicide three times.
I know a nice pansexual girl
Who's unable to find her place in the world
She was raped twice by a "friend" at fourteen years old
And not even her mom believed her when she told.
She's been with her boyfriend for over six years
But he's in a girl's body, which brings him to tears.
No one but her understands what he means
When he says "I'm a boy, not a girl. Can't you see?"
I have another bisexual friend
Who's verbally abused by his mom to no end.
His brother, Matt, sits in his room smoking weed
But he's somehow the favorite kid out of the three.
One of his friends is bisexual too
She's dangerously thin since she throws up her food.
But that isn't the only way that she self-harms
The whole world can see all the cuts on her arms.
I'm one of many afraid to come out
I want to stop hiding, I just want to shout
But I'm scared to come out because, well, you see,
I don't want things like this to happen to me...
