A Day in my Shoes
_________

How about a day in my shoes;

Where it's true I do have something to lose;

My skin crawls, as my mind aches;

To break the laws and decide my own fate;

My self-expression;

The ultimate weapon;

For the supression;

Is bleak and unending;

And still knowing all this;

Not courage nor strength can get me through this;

All I have to do is;

Be me

But you see;

It's not that simple;

For the lies I told;

For not being bold;

Are festering like a pimple.
