Rainbow tape

Words bubble up 

Stopping at the surface.

Fag, forget a gender

Forgot my purpose.

Sit and smile,

Nothing behind the tape.

Black on the outside,

Rainbows hidden to be safe.

Until her life is gone,

I could have held her hand.

Let her know she wasn't alone,

Let her know just where I stand.

No longer in the shadows, 

Rainbows cover the wall

Love of every kind fills the school,

Finally, love is how it should be.

Love is not for hiding,

Love is meant for all.
