Lies

Tue, 06/13/2017 - 05:06 -- OscarA

 

My wardrobe became my costume

where my costume became my lies

Where my lies became my life

and my life became a lie

 

25 years of lies

25 years of being fake

25 years of sadness

25 years of not being me

25 years of why’s

25 years gone by

 

I was born to be loved by another

But I have stopped that because I lied of who I am

today is the day where I will not be a scam

today is the day I come out as gay

today is the start where I will not live in lies

today is the beginning of my happiness

today is better than never

today is a new start

so today I can’t wait for the future

 

Wait, what future?

We’ve been fighting for equal rights

We’ve been suffering together

We’ve been hurting together

We can’t live with happiness

Because someone out there is dying for being gay

I can’t wait till the day we become free

But until then, we fight for our freedom
