Beginning with a B

Strange that something so accepted should still cause self consciousness before I approach it honestly

The relative anonymity this site gives me is for some reason still not enough to stop that pressure in the back of my mind

Here's me standing between that I guess, a self evaluative expression that deep down I'm okay with who I am

 

I'm lucky I know that much, living in a social culture of indifference from friends and family

My heart goes out to those prisoners behind abstract bars, walls constructed by opinions, traditions, religions

Who find someone with their own body shape attractive, a subtle reinvention of their minds and eyes

A smile that is just that little bit more reassuring thanks to a comfort in the air you can't quite put into a definitive shape

After one abusive encounter that still makes me ******* teeth biting angry well, I can't imagine that towering over me every day

I've said it before, I'll say it again, I've got a lot to be grateful for

 

Me well.. people joke that I'm one of the greedy ones, that I can't make my mind up one way or the other

There's a certain truth to it I must admit

The day dream of another as sub consciousness fades in similarity, that person staring back at me with a sheet covering up to a profile

Either seems attractive in that figurative make believe image, something concluded in the struggles of psychology

But forgive me if a certain pessimism surfaces from the prospect of earning that image, showing real social certainty towards whoever it is I'm curious of

But that's beside the point, a daunting prospect for anyone who stares silently into a crowd with a drink in their hand

Those comfortable with it getting a silent smiling **** you for their confidence

 

Despite all the usual traps and speed bumps, there is a certain ease to it all though

Whoever is eating that pizza with me, on the phone to me, sharing a shower with me

I'm at that point as an adult with a clear mirror

That I know its what I want, I know its okay to want it

And if there is anyone out there, with whatever representation of reality that perceives a problem with it

The ****** can **** my ****
