(inspired by Laura Jane Grace of Against Me!)
I used to think I had a daddy everyone knew as Tom.
Then one day she came to me and taught me how I was wrong.
She wore a purple sundress and makeup on her face,
She said her name is Laura, nervous yet full of grace.
I asked about being daddy. She said, "He never was.
I've always been a girl inside but hid it because
The world out there is frightening and people are full of fear
Of what they don't understand that they don't want to see or hear."

Do I miss my daddy?
Do I wonder, "Where did he go?"
No, I've always had two mommies,
I just didn't know.
Yes, I'll always have two mommies,
And they both love me so.

"Mommy you're so strong inside to be true to yourself."
"Honey, it just hurts too much to pretend to be someone else."
"What about all the mean people who say such ugly things?"
"We'll teach them understanding and the kindness it brings."
"What if they won't listen? What if they want to fight?"
"Then we must stand up and fight for what we know is right.
"For those who want to hate, for those who want to bring us down
"Show the world how what they say makes them look like a clown."

I'll never miss my daddy because he didn't exist.
She was always my mommy held down by the fist
Of a society that doesn't know what it means to be like her
Or the pain and confusion that often comes with being transgender.
She lived trapped inside an idea of what they thought she should be
She finally had enough and shouted, "I will just be me!"
