Hey, you know that flag that I bought with you?
Decorated with accepting colours?
I've finally put it up in my room
I placed it right by my door
So when people walk in they will know
Who I am and where I stand.

I don't want to hide who I am anymore.

I've been dressing up in a costume all my life
I've been performing a pay I now know off by heart
But I've started to burn those clothes that remind me of who I'm not
I don't want to be a part of a play anymore.
I want to be me.
