Title: Stabbing My Heart

I am a girl,
a hidden pearl,
my thoughts just swirl away.
I want to dance,
in skirts, not pants,
and prowl the streets by day.
I shave my chin,
I am a sin,
a pervert full of shame.
My fury spent,
my last lament,
is why I get the blame.
How can this be?
The real me,
is not what other people see.
They stab my heart,
with sacred art,
they hate that I am free.
But I endure,
my soul is pure,
my heart is full of love.
They cannot chain,
with bonds of pain,
my joy from high above.

I sincerly hope you do not believe that hon. You are not a pervert or a sinner. You have no cause to be full of shame. Be proud of who you are and who your creator made you. I am sure whomever they are is proud of you.

i wrote that nearly a year ago, and no i am not ashamed, the formal poetic style i was using makes changing the 'voice' midstream to ironic and back difficult; it's the wrong style for it really, but i like the sparse structure, and the easy rhythmic inversion, a la Dr Seuss. ::)
while it is expressed as an intellectual game, the feelings are real; maybe the best thing to come out of coming out is that i have all but ceased telling lies, and i feel much cleaner now. :angel:
