I am...free to be me, to an extent.
I wonder...if i'll ever be able to unmask
myself.
I hear...discrimination and redundant
hatered.
I see...a light in our future no matter
how dim it may be.
I want...to marry the one I love.
I am...special and friendly to most.
I pretend...to be like everyone else
to fit in.
I feel...sorrow within my heart.
I touch...on matters that make them
think.
I worry...that my children will be teased
and hated because of me.
I cry...for justice and equal rights,
not special rights.
I understand...everyone is entitled
to an opinion.
I say...I don't care what they think.
I dream...of my wedding day.
I hope...that "We the People" will eventually
mean all of us.
I am...lesbian and proud.
