why was i born this way?
forced to choose between
what i know is wrong and
what i wish were right.

this is not fair to me!
it is to hard to know
what i could have and yet
know what i can't do.

so, i try to be like
everybody else, normal,
for mom, for dad, for you,
but it's not that easy.

i try to pretend that
i'm just like you, that
i flirt like you, that i
love like you...but i don't.

you have no idea what it's
like to be me, to never be
comfortable in your own skin,
because you wish it wasn't yours.

Great work. Your words seem very sincere.

I can feel your emotion and sadness in this mr0001 ... my heart goes out to you.  I wish I knew your issues more to give you any wisdom I might be able to offer.  We are all so different than each other ... each person is unique, and special ... and for the talent you hold in expressing yourself through your words, you are wonderful and special indeed!

Best wishes and hugs,
/Kit

thanx everybody for responding!! i know that this poem was just a bit vague, but i'm still working up the courage to actually say what i'm talking about....anyway....i've been suffering from extreme writer's block for about a month, so that's why you haven't seen much from me, but hopefully it is clearing up    thanx again for the encouragement...bye

"crazy" is just who you are...amplified.

some people draw the outlines in life, i chose to add the color.
