I'll wear my pride flag shirt to church

Then pull on a sweater when my stomach lurches

At the thought of all the stares

And their silent prayers

And if no one ever says a word

Then my defenses go unheard

And if it continues on unsaid

The war will go on inside my head

Inwardly I cling to the image I want to maintain:

"I don't care what they think. I am not ashamed."
