*sigh*
So apparently, when I get pissed and depressed about world issues, I write poetry.
I won't go into what incited this one, it'll just make me cry.
Culture and counter culture
Why am I different from you?
I love a pretty face, Fuck that, I speak the same language
But you’re not even listening.
Why the wide-eyed fear?
Just because I’m speaking in tongues,
Doesn’t mean I’m chanting curses
Maybe I’m saying a prayer!
We’re both the same -
I could use my blood, my body,
After all, it’s red, and I’ve got all my limbs in all the right places…
So why the stares of horror?
I’m sorry - the bits don’t go together,
I didn’t realize life was a child’s game
Where everything neatly slides into place,
And everything different just disappears
What’s the problem again?
I can’t hear you, mumbling in your corner
About how I’m going to bring about the ending times
With my love for another.
Stand up! Look me in the eye and tell me I’m wrong,
You with your broken heart and broken home, your moral gray, tell me again!
Go on, cast that first stone - I’ll throw it right back at you
And then we’ll both be bruised…
I’m angry… but mercy outshines my indignation
You’re just afraid. I’m not like you, you don’t know me
You shirk away from me like a stray cat,
And like a stray, I have to pity you just the same.
If you’ll let me, I’ll take you in.
If you’ll let me, I’ll show you - no need for fear.
You didn’t mind being born, and that was different
Now, let’s try it again.
We don’t have to be lovers, friends will do.
Here’s my hand - it’s up to you.
I won't go into what incited this one, it'll just make me cry.
