Was is worth it to love her?

To hold her

To kiss her sweet lips

Was it worth it to defy expectations?

To embarrass my family

To hurt those around me

Was it worth it to be happy?

To not fake who I am

To stay true to myself

Was it worth it to come out?

Even with screams and shouts

And looks and thought of doubt

Was it worth it to be me?

To feel free

And know I am complete
