I once loved one man, he took my only heart
And right there in front of me, he ripped it apart
I know he didn't mean to, but to him it was just a game
But the guilt and pain remains the same
But now I understand, why he didn't stay
He was afraid to love, and to take a chance
He was afraid to leave and make another stance
He was afraid to make his mark; his mark on societies wall
He was afraid to take a leap, as he could fall
He would have rather stayed single, knowing he has the freedom to mingle
He made his mind and stayed with society
Even though he had his chance to be free
So now I sit outside societies dream
I linger like a nightmare, making ppl scream
They say its just a phase that ill get over it soon
They say its a disease, like a werewolf and the moon
But deep down in my heart, I know it isn't so
Becuz I have to be strong, so I can show
Ppl like the one man who threw me in the bin
That no matter how hard they try, I will nvr give in
Cause what's the point of hurting me? So I can feel bad?
So I can understand what its like to be sad?
Well I alredy know just how that feels
Cause its so hard for me to reveal
That I like the same sex, and who rly gives a damn?
Goes in the end we all still go cold and clam
So who cares if I'm gay! I am proud to be
Becuz in my world I take it as a victory
That I can make a choice and stand from the rest
Be an individual and try my best
And ppl may laugh at me and call me nasty names
But u know what? It doesn't matter its all a game
Cause later on in life they will suddenly see
That the reason I was gay, was becuz it was me
So go on and call out names and raise ur heads so high
But remember who I am, just before u die
Remember that I was strong and managed to pull thru
And remember that if I can do it, then so can u
So today I stand and say that I am proud to be gay
And if I had a choice I'd have it no other way.
