Raise Your Hand If You’ve Spent Nights Crying Yourself To Sleep, Raise Your Hand If You’ve Felt As If You’d Rather Hide In Bed All Day Than Face The People That Make You Feel Small Or Powerless! Raise Your Hand If You’ve Felt As If You’d Rather Lie To People Than Tell Them The Truth About Who You Really Are, Because At Least You Wouldn’t Be The Victim Of Hateful Behavior Or Prejudice! And Raise Your Hand If Lying Feels Almost As Bad.
