“I Will Not Be Silent Anymore”

By Cameo Garrick, 17
West Jordan High School senior

The lies we spin

for our family, our friends

Our G.S.A.'s become "Drama Club"

Our thoughts and voices become dubbed

We get scared when people inquire about our lives

We don't know how to take that dive.

We don't know what they would think, or react

Would they be disgusted or just face that fact

We are not ashamed, but there is silence

about who we are and love, we

don't want to be an inconvenience

But I have come to a conclusion

I love who I am, and I have made my decision

I WILL NOT BE SILENCED ANYMORE!!!!!
