The Outsiders

By Laura

I'm just a passenger in the day
Sometimes I wish I wasn't gay
Cause when I reach to hold her hand
Stand all the stares I can withstand

If we were just a he and a she
Just think how free we both could be
Its revolution in a kiss
These fading ghosts I sometimes miss

I hold her hand where love is loud
I kiss her lips to show we're proud
Cause pride is found inside the tears
The ones we shed with all our fears

We may not earn approving smiles
But loving her is worth my while
And as I lay awake at night 
I pull her close; she feels so right
