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

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

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

... Till I reach my expiration date-
and until life's taste leaves its bitter residue...

Disbelief-
as the officer stands before her...

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...

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

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

Lifes unforgiving,
Loves unrelenting...

Ten years from now-
I won't remember the argument...

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