I did not choose to feel this way
and yet this is the way that i feel
Soceital laws have to be rewritten
just to create a place for me. I try
hard to be the me that the world says
i should be, but the reality of it is
that is not who i am

I did not decide to be this way. i
simply made a conscience decision
within myself to be the me that i am.
I go to church where some say that i can
pray it away, and yet as i look around so
many sit in denial of who it is they truly
are

They exist by living a lie undercover,
devasting the lives of others, just to exist
under the shadow of societal correctnesss.
Living a lie is not christanity, what it is,
is pure insanity for me to be anything other
than who i am

I am learning to be comfortable with me and less
concerned about being what other people want me
to be, because the one thing that i have learned
is that nomatter how hard i try, i cannot change
the me that i am
