Coming out (A young Teens Experience)

Feelings that you have
try to hide away
Scared
of what they might say
Attraction
draws you in
Curiosity
some say sin
When does expression
cross the line?
When is it alright
to love?
Restricted by society
disapproval
no wonder,
it's a shame
It's not easy to break away
Some have taken their lives
harmed themselves
because
of the fear held
inside
because of the people
who tore away their pride
the one thing inside
you need not hide
It's the pride that keeps you warm at night,
the pride that keeps you safe.
So,
make a move don't be afraid
don't listen to the hate
break down your wall
ignore them all
don't keep it a secret anymore
tell people who you are
because you're better than they are.
When does expression
cross the line?
When is it alright
to love?
Restricted by society
disapproval,
no wonder....it's a shame.
but hey, listen here
break down your wall
ignore them all
don't listen to the hate
because in the end,
with your pride
you're better than them all inside.
