I have secrets and lies I tell even myself I strive to appear normal For I am ashamed of my deviances I resent that what I like could get me labeled a freak Our limbs entwined as we cuddle and kiss The clothes we wore strewn across several rooms The heat radiating between us My secrets burning a hole in my heart But how can you know that I want more and I'm ashamed of those cravings I haven't told you, I am afraid of being judged, abandoned, and mocked How can I trust with how many times I've been burned before, I'm paranoid Would you step out of your comfort zone for me Would you stick by me, or would you be angry or disgusted or unsympathetic to my desires

Secrets, Lies, and Loathing
I have secrets and lies I tell even myself I strive to appear normal For I am ashamed of my deviances I resent that what I like could get me labeled a freak Our limbs entwined as we cuddle and kiss The clothes we wore strewn across several rooms The heat radiating between us My secrets burning a hole in my heart But how can you know that I want more and I'm ashamed of those cravings I haven't told you, I am afraid of being judged, abandoned, and mocked How can I trust with how many times I've been burned before, I'm paranoid Would you step out of your comfort zone for me Would you stick by me, or would you be angry or disgusted or unsympathetic to my desires
I know I'm different, but I lie to myself to keep up appearances
