To be like others is all I desire
The feelings I have scare me to death
Why aren’t I the same as other boys
Boasting about girls
And bragging what they do
I mumble a few words and look away
I don’t understand why this happened to me
Every morning as I wake
I have a minute when I feel okay
Then the fear comes crashing down
When I remember what I am
It stays with me every minute of the day
A burning flame in the back of my head
Forcing myself out of bed
It’s a struggle everyday
Going to school ties me in knots
Always on guard my words won’t betray me
Or my glances don’t linger long on anyone
I’m so lonely and there’s no one I can talk to
My smile is armour guarding my secret
Pretending to be other than me
Is hurting more than I can stand
