untitled: 12/05/06 (poetry)
You hear the laughter,
Ringing in the back of your head
The voices, calling out hateful words
Names not your own, mar the walls of your mind
It’s not that you chose to be this way
But I guess that’s just not okay
If you don’t follow the flow
You’ll drown in the river of deceit
Why should you be the one to say sorry
For who you came to be
Who says you have to be ashamed
That you must bow down
Get back in your closet,
They all scream
Before you would have hid,
But now you know (no matter what they say)
You’re loved.
(She says so everyday)
Ringing in the back of your head
The voices, calling out hateful words
Names not your own, mar the walls of your mind
It’s not that you chose to be this way
But I guess that’s just not okay
If you don’t follow the flow
You’ll drown in the river of deceit
Why should you be the one to say sorry
For who you came to be
Who says you have to be ashamed
That you must bow down
Get back in your closet,
They all scream
Before you would have hid,
But now you know (no matter what they say)
You’re loved.
