Have you ever felt like dying?
That tightness in your chest?
Like you couldn't survive another day?
Well maybe it's time to come out of hiding.
This doesn't have to be a silent illness
No ones gonna yell
They care.
Maybe you won't have to deal with this alone
Maybe time heals.

I wish I was writing those love poems you loved
But now I'm just sitting here crying
Maybe you never actually loved me
These love poems you didn't read
Maybe just maybe I was wrong
Maybe you did love me
"It's not you, it's me"
I'm sorry I messed up
You won't have to deal with the love poems anymore...

I understand that this isn't really your speed
Commitment isn't really my thing
We seem like two broken pieces of a puzzle
One day, the put us together and I found a purpose
For when I look at you all the anxiety goes away
You make my dreams come true when you stare into my eyes
I might just be a lovesick poet
But you made me who I am today

I'm not scared of commitment anymore
As long as it's with you
I could spend a lifetimes with you
Because you're the last puzzle piece to the puzzle of life

Why can’t you tell me?
This family is not my own.
Well they may be but they don’t act like it.
I see them everyday.
I see them smile, laugh, cry,
But why don’t they feel like mine?
Why don’t I match with the rest?
I have a different last name,
Not Mom’s or Dad’s.
Where did it come from?
There are some secrets.
Why can’t I know?
I found out about some of them on my own.
Why were you hiding me from them?
Well I guess it's for the best,
But why hide me from my siblings?
I found out about them but…
The one disowned me,
The one doesn’t care,
The one doesn’t know,
Maybe that's why you hid them.
But could you explain some things?
Why don’t I remember my Dad?
How did he have to die?
Why can’t I see him again?
But why do you get mad when I ask?
I just want to know answers.
Why can’t you tell me?

Your name is Little Red
Well your code name, that is
You're kept a secret from Parents
I talk about my Little Red to friends
They know not to say your name when Mom is around
Because in this day and age
I have to keep you a secret to stay alive
But when the lights are low
And nobody is home
I get to show you to the world
It's society's fault that my mother can't know
I'd get kicked out or worse
But when we are in public
They get to see
How much I love you and you love me
Gays are slowly becoming known
But its hard to explain to a parent
How you don't have a gender
You aren't he or she
You are in between
You have long red hair and beautiful green eyes
Am I considered gay or is that just a lie?
But for now you're hidden away
From parents to see
This love that is blossoming
Between you and me

You know I have never learned to dance
But when the music comes on my body starts moving
Sometimes like a ballet, sometimes tap
Sometimes a mix of everything in between
I don't care if people laugh, maybe they'll even join
If I can get them to dance
Maybe they will see the joy
But tonight I will just grab your hand
And hope you come along
For this is a little dance
And this is a little song

I told you about the bad love poems
How I sit there in class and write
You thought the idea was cute
But you never asked to see
I wondered why
Maybe it's because you don't want to hear
You don't need to hear my true feelings
Or maybe you're scared because you don't feel the same
