Go ahead.
Put on your little show.
Make the world think
It is all okay.

Go ahead.
**** with my head.
Make me think one day
It'll all be okay.

Go ahead.
Show the world your perfect family.
All straight and conservative.
They are all okay.

Go ahead.
Run away from the fight.
Cower inside your walls of lies
You'll make it okay.

Go ahead.
Because I will move on one day.
I'll get over it.
Finally I'll be okay.

"I guess you can come"
Five little words.
They hurt.
You don't seem to care.
You don't seem to notice
I don't feel welcome here.
Always an after thought.
No one seems to see
The words you say
They really hurt me.

I sit here on my lonely island.
Facing the world alone.
I need you here.
I need you close.
My world has grown small
And I feel so very alone.
I scream and no one hears.
My voice is small and weak.
No one.
Just me.
I
Need
You.

My heart aches.
I do not  have the words.
The answers just aren't in my mind.
My blood boils with you around.
I wish it weren't true.
Because part of me still loves you.
We could be friends.
But there are some things that need to be said.
Truths need to be taken out
Laid out for us to examine.
We have to solve it or it will just get worse.
This puzzle has missing pieces.
I do not want to leave with all this anger
Since I am so very good at being mad.
I want to leave with the friend I once had.
The one who got me.
The one who let me cry.
The one who helped build me up.
Not the one who makes me cry,
Tears me apart,
And has no clue.
I want you back.
Because no matter the anger and hurt in my heart
You are still my tennis buddy,
My graceful soul,
My friend.

One day maybe you will see
All the pain and hurt you have caused me
You have torn me down to nothing too many times
But I am taking back what is mine.
I am taking back my self-esteem and pride
And I am about to leave with a quick stride.
Soon I will be out the door, not looking back
And you will be left unable to face the facts.
THIS IS ME.
One day you may see.
I hope one day you can accept me for who I am
But for now I don't give a ****.
I don't give a flying **** what you think
Because I have found my missing link.
I love her more than words can describe
I have her heart and she has mine.
You can hate it, you can hate me
But that doesn't change my feelings of glee.

Take away my things
Throw away my possessions
Tear me down with your words
Make me say false confessions.
You may think you are right
You might believe you know me best
But you know nothing about me;
So, let me put your lies to rest:

I do lie-- but only to you
I have stolen-- my pride back from you
I am who I am and that won't change
I just hope one day you can love me.
Right now I have both feet out the door
And I am moving froward, not turning back
I will find new role models to guide me
Better people to pick up your slack.

Maybe as parents you have failed
But, that is not my problem.
I am only being me don't you see?
And when I have children I won't rob them
I won't take away their things
I won't hold them back each day
I won't let them feel unloved
I will always listen to what they have to say.

Your guiding ways have only led me wrong
You have let me see the clear way, though
It may not be the way you wish
But it is where I choose to go.
I choose to leave this place called home
I wish to leave with a smile, however
Taking lessons learned and my own identity
Knowing it may be me leaving forever.

I can cut the cord just as easy.
You think you still have control over me
But in fact you don't know one single thing
And one day you may finally see the true me.

Me on the left
You on the right
Fingers intertwined
Standing side by side.
A crowded room
Filled with laughter and joy
Happy, smiling faces
All the ones we adore.
You pull me close
And whisper in my ear
“You and me.
Right here.
This is where we are supposed to be.”
I see your smile
I feel your love.
You pull me close
And as our lips so sweetly touch
I awake.
I open my eyes to an empty bed
An empty room
But a full head.
A head full of thoughts and dreams
That one day soon
You’ll be where you are supposed to be.
One day soon
We will be
Where we are supposed to be.
