Feeling this way

All i want is some respect

that 7 lettered word

NO demands

NO threats on my life

or pissed of fuck off leave me the hell alone attitudes



ALL I WANT IS TO BE ME

A PERSON

NOT A THING  HAVING TO MASK HIMSELF BEHIND A CURTAIN OF LIES

I'M DONE WITH THAT SHIT MAN



I WANT TO BE TREATED THE SAME



Please don't shrug me off

dont just let me be

i need compassion, friendship and love

i dont need to be singeled out because of my orientation!



These words are my words

spoken without a lie

my most inner thoughts and feelings

held up high



These words are not anyone elses words

mine thru and thru

these words are my emotions

stored high upon a shelf all up for grabs!



dont shit on me,

dont step on my life

just see who i am on the inside

the person i want to be



not the person i have to be



I have screwed up

i break people a lot

I hurt people , just as they hurt me

I just dont understand all of the things i say and do



please hear this

spoken true and true

until my days are thru

i will not stop

feeling this way
