I take my bags, pack them up
I must leave ‘fore the sun comes up
I need to leave this house of lies
I need to leave this house that hides

I hide and hide all day and night
I hide myself, out of fright
But now I must come to my senses
Despite the horrid consequences

I’m tired of hiding who I am
And honestly I don’t give a ****
Don’t give a **** to what you think
Don’t give a **** to your critique

I’m not even sorry for throwing a fit
I’m done dealing with your *******
I’m who I am, and that is all
And I’m not afraid to stand tall

I know you’ll never accept who I am
But just know that I don’t give a ****
So go feed your children with your lies
Feed them ‘til you blind their eyes

Blind their eyes to what is ‘right’
Deprive them of all delight
Blind their eyes to what is ‘wrong’
But before then, I’ll be long gone

Teach them to judge with their eyes
Teach them to have a narrow mind
Teach them that they are great
Teach them to fill their hearts with hate

You tried to teach me all of this
But I learned how to dismiss
Your biased, skewered, bits of ‘truth’
That you have taught me since my youth
I wrote this poem for a friend of mine who is going through rough times. Hope you enjoy it (also: which alignment do you prefer? left, right, or center?)
