Description YT

hi! this is a song I wrote around the shame lgbtq+ people go through, and therefore the importance of “pride” and the rainbow and flags etc and just how needed and helpful it all is to combat that feeling.

lyrics!

I was brought up in a line
But I seem to walk in circles
it’s getting hard to navigate
When every map was never made for me

I thought it would feel good
To understand why I was different
But my title just talks over me
I never even asked to be this way

(chorus)
But to say that i’m a rainbow
To tell me that i’m bright
When i’m so used to feeling wrong
Well, it makes me feel all right

I didn’t think it fair
I was not to be trusted
How can I be proud of
What a million people shout at me I’m not

So please step inside my soul
I’d love to watch you gasp
You’d understand in minutes
Oh I’d like to think you’d miss it
Cause so would I.

(chorus)
