"Phase" - Transgender suicide awareness song (original)

Edit: Oh my god- this got pretty big. Thank you so much for all the support in the comments, and it absolutely warms my heart to see everyone in the comments appreciating this but also makes me sad hearing some of your stories. Know that you are all amazing, beautiful, strong individuals, no matter what the world may tell you.

This was a school project for my civics class, but I thought that it would be a good thing to publicize, because it's something that's very important to me and something I want to get out there.

lyrics:
47% of my brothers and sisters don't feel they belong
It's heaven or hell with mom and dad, just tryna stay strong
Just hide, cower, but it's a cry for help
19% don't wanna live out loud
So we hear 'bout them tryna tie a noose
Bam, just like that, my friends let loose

He says:
"I could cut off my circulation, end my bitterness
Or cut off my hair so I can breathe in hopefulness
I feel I'm stuck, wrong, trapped and they have the audacity to say
"It's just a phase"

She just wishes she felt loved
She would be their daughter, not their son
He wishes he saw his body and felt alright
Not like putting up a fight
If we could do something or change a thing to make it all better
Not as many kids would feel forgotten and write their final letters

She says:
"I could cut off my circulation, end my bitterness
Or grow out my hair so I can breathe in hopefulness
I feel I'm stuck, wrong, trapped and they have the audacity to say
"It's just a phase"

If we changed our minds a little bit
Our kids wouldn't feel stuck like this
Leelah, Taylor, Zander, Jude
How many more do we have to lose?
These kids mean something
Don't treat them as if they're nothing
Dear kids: please, try to stay strong
The wait to being yourself, it ain't that long
