For years, I felt like I'd been trapped
within the norms of heterosexuality
I tried to blend in and adjust best I could,
but it was never truly enough

I spent years trying to unhide
everything I had previously been covering
It might be something that'll always stick
deep down, inside of me

I'm still working on accepting
the parts within me some view as strange
I'll celebrate with the community
as we're marching towards progress

The world I won't ever be able to change,
but I'll make it better, one step at a time
