before and after
before
girl walking through the hall of her school one day
no one knows her love of girls
her head hanging low
a pain in her heart making her rather die
than be her
after
last night she spilled
now everyone knows her love of girls
she walks down the hall
her freshly dyed hair shining
the colors of others that she represents
rainbow colors swish against her face
she did it in an act of rebellion
now other girls scatter and make a path
none coming close enough to touch
but close enough to hear
they twitter behind hands into ears
only now
she walks with her head held high
