I don't want to take my secrets with me when I go. When I pass through the light, i want to be free of everything and everyone.

I don't make friends I'll always be alone. If I go, at least there's hope of peace. Chance of a new and better life on the other side.

And it’s more. It’s about getting past that question of whats wrong with me, to knowing there’s nothing wrong, that you were born this way. You're a normal person and a beautiful person and you should be proud of who you are. You deserve to live and live with dignity and show people your pride.
