I Am... Socially Unacceptable 10-2

Folder: 
2007

Hidden within the depths of my mind

Are a set of words

A set of concepts

Too full of life for life itself

A set covered by

More socially acceptable

Words and concepts



"Socially Acceptable"

Does not make words like

PAIN or HURT

DEPRESSION or  LOSS

These words haunt me

Painted over with a smile

"I'm fine"

"I'm grand"

"I'm wonderful"

Is all that escapes my mouth



"Socially Acceptable"

Does not account for

OBSESSION

Especially not for a topic such as

RELIGION

Or even worse

JESUS CHRIST

To simply believe is enough

But never to be fully devoted



"Socially Acceptable"

Does not account for

TEENAGE LOVE

Heartfelt yearnings

Devoted to completely giving

Only to one another

For the rest of eternity

"I love you"

It is enough, but

"I love myself more"

Is more appropriate for the times

That is, of course,

Without being too conceited



However much

LOVE

DEPRESSION or

JESUS CHRIST

Are considered

"socially unacceptable"

Never can one be accepted

Without just a hint

Of social unacceptability.
