My Smile
I'm scared Everything keeps falling apart Foundations upon which I once stood are crumbling down and I can't stop it but I can still keep smiling
They can take away my rights They can beat me down They can outlaw my people They can take and take and take But the one thing they can't take is the smile on my face
I can find a reason to smile Even when I'm crying Even when I'm scared I won't let them take my light away My beautiful rainbow light that I spread through my smile
My light has so much in it pain and sorrow love and joy spite and kindness everything that makes me me and I can show it all through a smile
They will never take it away No one will ever take it away not my name not my identity not my light not my smile
They're mine and they always will be
