Went out into the hard cold world, eyes open wide;
Tried to share the love, the passion inside.
Had so much to lose, so much to gain;
Wasn't prepared for so much pain.
The love that I feel, kept deep down inside;
The person I was seems to have died.
Now I'm left with a person who's free;
Somehow lost in her new reality.
I look in the mirror and see what's there:
A loving person, someone who cares.
But labels are cruel, what do they say?
Defined by your needs; abhorent and gay.
