I feel like a terrible person.
But I haven't done anything out of reason.
Do I make sense to you?
I feel like my friends should have someone better
Someone who isn't me.
Someone who isn't trying to flee
their own emotions.
I feel like I don't deserve to be here.
I'll never exist the way I want to anyways.
Do I make sense to you?
I feel numb.
I get yelled at again.
Mom doesn't like the rainbow flag.
The church says I shouldn't exist either.
I'm gonna go to hell and whither.
Now the flag has changed
from all the shades of pink and red
To now pink, blue, and white.
But they say I'm still not real.
I'm not who I want to be.
Do I make sense to you?
I wish I could tell my parents.
I wish I knew that they would help.
But they won't.
They say they will.
They promise to always be there for me
But now I know
It's only at the expense of their own convenience.
I'm just trying to discover myself.
I want to be me.
But I'm not enough.
Do I make sense to you...?
