Something Has Got To Give

My mother tells me I have no

Compassion because of all the

Nice Boys

I have broken, the ones who really cared

My father asks if I will ever find a

Man, one good enough to

Keep around, as if it is my

Standards that are impossible

But there are so many memories I'm afraid to tell

And so much weighing on the truth

I've been hiding

Last summer I felt real pain in my heart

For the first time in my short life

Because she made me feel

Normal,

And then she left

I've spent a long time hiding in shame, but

Something has got to

Give because

It is only a matter of time until

I finally break
