You Are Who You Are

When you know that you’re wrong
But it feels so right.
When your heart sings a song
But knows that it’ll lose the fight.
When you can’t help but feel
These things inside.
When it feels so real
But you still need to hide.
When your very being
Is a disgrace.
When you’re afraid of seeing
The reflection of your face.
When who you are
Is not really you.
When that shooting star
Looks black to you.
When you see no hope,
No pretty light.
When you’re tied by the rope
And your wings’ll never take flight.
When the world’s against you
And your beliefs.
When you only see blue
And get no pleasant relief.
When all you can be
Is someone else.
When you never see
You’re beautiful yourself.
When all your heart
Is down the drain.
When you’re torn apart
From the pain.
When all you need
Is that light to guide you.
When that ugly seed
Is planted inside you.
When the fear
Creeps into your mind.
When the tears
Are never left behind.
Just remember
You are who you are.
No matter your gender
You’re my shining star.
