In the shadows,
Hidden from the world
I am not
Free to be myself
I am finally
Recognizing reality
The hateful voices of society
Drowning out
Vibrant colors
From the prism that is my authentic self
As the light shines upon me
It makes no difference
If I try to hide
I can live comfortably
But is that enough?
I am who I am
I open the door and step Out
The world as I know it has changed
Flipped on its head
The world as I know it has changed
I open the door and step Out
I am who I am
But is that enough?
I can live comfortably
If I try to hide
It makes no difference
As that light shines upon me
From the prism that is my authentic self
Vibrant colors
Drowning out
The hateful voices of society
Recognizing reality
I am finally
Free to be myself
I am not
Hidden from the world
In the shadows
