I Love the Same

I live a lie
They call me boy
They dont know how I feel
To be what they want, Ill try

If I were a girl
Then Id be happy
Just what they want- normal and lovely
My life wouldnt unfurl

I hear what they say
Calling me woman
So lovely and pretty
I tried, but I cant live their way

If I were a boy
Then Id be happy
Just what they want- tough and strong
My life wouldnt be coy

If I could, anything else I would choose
Their judgment would end
Free, Id love and be able to marry
Accepted, my lover they wouldnt refuse

What do they fear?
Likewise, I dont want to be alone
My love feels the same
Im human, not queer

Live a lie to be accepted
Or, accept myself to be happy
No one should live this choice
If Im me, Ill be rejected

Your fear is my blame
Your life is about you
Mine is mine
Why must I love in shame?

They call me male
I love the same
They call me female
I love the same

For all the lessons you taught me and your pain I hope will end, I dedicate this to those that I cannot name.

A former computer professor turned Internet writer, I have combined elements of the film, music, and publishing industries to create a new genre exclusive to the Internet - Digi-Tome's. Interested in a different way of learning and beautiful way of living, I created the world's first digi-tome, life.
