A poem about falling for a woman as a woman and letting go of others judgment. |
This is what I need Me and you are the same In the one way that commands judgment I hide my face To escape my mother's shame As I bathe myself in hot water Hoping to wash away years of dark mist That has attached itself to my body I'm not ashamed But I'm afraid If I do you wrong And break your heart I do care and I want you by my side There is a world far away Where others wouldn't look at us with shame Where we could be free Where the grass is green And the grey sky could no longer taint my days Everytime I hear from you my heart beats a little faster My head feels a little lighter I feel a little bit better I want to be free As I'm hiding under a blue and pink banister Perhaps forgiveness from my mother can be ordered by years of looking up but being looked down apoun Black and white shades of grey I let them taint me and wash away my colours As I crawl out from the banister of what's acceptable I find Rainbow fabric in the shape of a flag to cover myself with As my world finally feels bright No longer grey God, I'm glad that you are gay and I am bi Perhaps just maybe We can stand a chance together |
