THE WAY I FEEL

I don’t know you for long, but what I know
Enchants me like a bird’s morning song
I cannot hear the words, but what they say
hangs softly on the hills where I must go

Consoling my heart and hope for the day

when I look deep into your eyes
Hazel and dreamy, I get lost in them

I look at you and think; God, how lucky I am
to be able to spend time with you

All that I am bursts into bloom

Hope my eyes communicate my feelings

Pray my actions speaks the words not spoken

The slight touch relays our longings

My heart pounds with contentment

To love and wanting to be loved

I AIN'T GONNA HIDE NO MORE

Hiding, I’m hiding who I am
Hidden beneath a stereotype
Teenage boy
Meant to like girls
Born to like girls
But I’ve tried
And that doesn’t work
I’m scared
I’ll be judged
I’ll be criticised
To scared to open up to anyone
In case they leave
All I want is to be accepted
Not to be ostracized
I’m scared
I’ll be judged
I’ll be criticised
I’m not who people think I am
But I just want to be loved
Not by a woman
By the people I yearn to love
I want them to love me
But I’m scared
I’ll be judged
I’ll be criticised
I don’t judge
I don’t criticise
So don’t judge or criticise me
I’m different…
Get over it!
