This is my life
This is who I am
I am an angel
Cast upon the earth

My reflection shows darkness,
but I am full of light
A light that does not fill you,
for you do not believe

I love for love
I don't base my love on appearance
I don't base it upon ideals
I base my love on people

I am forced to hear the bells
I am forced to bathe in acidic waters
You are mistaken if you believe this will change me
For I am who I am

I am an angel on earth
An angel that loves
An angel that lives
An angel that hurts

My pain is for you
For those that cast stones
That taunt and tease
People that point fingers,
at things they don't understand

I wish you could love
I wish you could grow
Look past the words printed on paper,
and look to what is true

I am in love with a woman
I am happy
I am living
I am gay
