Everyone Else
July 27, 2011
Why should I be you?
Why can't I be me?
Why is everyone pressuring me?
What's wrong with sex?
Whats wrong with black?
What's wrong with cursing at the sky?
What's wrong with that?
You yell I know you! I love you!
You don't know me.
You never have.
You never will.
You know lies.
You know confinement.
You know what you want me to be.
You and everyone else.
I don't want your suggestions.
I don't want your stares.
I don't want your whispers.
I don't really care.
Not about you.
And definitely not about everyone else.
