It Won’t Be Me

i’m okay

when i woke up today i felt afraid

but now

things are looking up but

i’m still tired of hiding because

i want a love like this

where we tag-team

on everything

somehow

even with our differences

we’re in perfect harmony

and i’m okay

because i’m making friends and

more than friends

and even though

my mom doesn’t know

because i lied

she doesn’t know that i’m anything but

straight

i’ll be okay

i’ll be alright

i just want someone

to remind me

that life is not just today

that there is hope beyond this moment

and i am more than where i am right now

and that i will be alright

i will be okay
