When I think of the:

525,600 minutes,

525,000 moments a year,

I realise, how stupid, I have been,

To waste so many seconds believing a lie.

I told myself I’m something,

I have never been.

I made myself unhappy,

That much is clear to be seen.

But when I told myself the truth,

It made me so glad.

You may not like it, but I’m,

Proud to be rainbow tagged.

I’ve never worn the pink triangle,

Never been to the village,

Never been in the Mardi gras,

Just don’t have the courage.

Haven’t even told my folks,

But I’ve still come out

I stand by my colours

Of the truth I have no doubt.

Some people ask me

how I can be so sure of this.

I haven’t had a date,

Haven’t even had a first kiss.

Others ask me,

why I can’t just be straight

I tell them it wasn’t a choice,

Why do you have to criminate?

This is who I am,

I haven’t changed from last year.

You just now know,

I’m what you call queer.

I’ve never worn the pink triangle,

Never been to the village,

Never been in the Mardi gras,

Just don’t have the courage.

Haven’t even told my folks,

But I’ve still come out

I stand by my colours

Of the truth I have no doubt.

525,600 minutes,

525,000 moments a year,

I’ve realised, how stupid, I have been,

To waste so many seconds believing a lie.

I’ll continue on the way I always have

But not worrying bout the slip-ups,

The mistakes, the lies

Now the truth is out

I don’t need to hide it inside

You may not agree

But that’s just your too bad

It doesn’t matter what anyone says

I’m still proud to be rainbow tagged
