I can't Live like this

by J u l e s   Jul 6, 2008


You told me today
That you would not accept
Accept me, for what I choose to be
My secret will be forever kept

I can not say
Nor speak aloud
Of what I am
Yet again I did not make you feel proud

If I come out to say the truth
Will you feel ashamed
Or will I be disownded?
My life is being trapped and framed

I was told today
That it was not okay
That I must live the life for me, that you had picked
But what I am, I can not say

I can not come to believe
That you would let go of me
Because the way I chose to live
One day you might just see

That I can't live up
To what you want me to be
That I am this way
Because it is who I am, it's only me
