The absolutely radical, 
Mind boggling idea of being accepted.
-A fantasy served with insecurity 
On the side, stained 
With the lipstick you only wear 
On third dates, the idea of 
what love "should feel like"
Bubbling below the skin
Until you get blisters and boils, 
sick and heady but starry eyed.
Ignoring the naysayers,
Oh so what if sleeping beauty
Gets roofied here. 
The potential to get shattered, 
Identity mutilated beyond recognition
Is, after all, a small price to pay
If you finally get to.. Belong.
