Great Goddess above, please hear my cry

For I'm too scared to live, yet too weak to die

Rejected and mocked by those I hold dear

I hide who I am and each day's spent in fear

Each day I walk on the edge of a knife

Twixt running away or ending my life

Surrounded by those who do not understand

That who I become is not theirs to demand

Please grant me the courage to stand on my own

To not fear their scorn or the lose of my home

Please strengthen my heart so their words leave no scars

That I may stand tall and break free from their bars
