It Gets Better...

He's the kid you all remember
with the girl's walk and girl's voice
Effeminate in kindergarten,
what makes you think it was his choice?
Do you think he woke up one day
and decided he was gay,
decided his sexual preference
before he learned the games we all play?
Did he make you wonder,
maybe doubt yourself,
Did you think he was so different
or did you see just a little of yourself?
Is that the fear makes hate appear
in defense of your guilt?
Stone by stone you'll come to live alone
behind the wall that you have built...

The world is full of people full of soul
a little shows from the outside
the rest from within it grows
You never know just what you'll find
behind a strangers smile
but no longer strangers then;
friends....
