I pledge allegiance
As I stare at a flag...

I'm sitting here at two in the morning,
School is only a few hours away...

My deepest argument,
As a child pretending to be a woman...

Interrupt these silent screams
Wipe away these blood laced tears...

In a world,
Away from the one you have known...

I\'m just the girl you noticed at the gas station-
whose eyes screamed mercy for her soul...

Whose personality is everyone imitating?
Whose style is everyone emulating...

Eyes behold truth
All insecurities, fears, and lies escape through...

Every other house has a flag
I guess it symbolizes patriotism...

Disbelief-
as the officer stands before her...

I thought if I could overcome my fears
It would relieve the pain...

I\'ve been having these thoughts-
more like visions...
