I BLEED TOO

I BLEED TOO

I’m choking on my desolation,

Wandering in loneliness without any solution,

Down on my knees praying for relief of my despair,

Asking myself if anyone cares.

Just because I’m not like you,

Doesn’t mean I bleed a different hue,

I feel pain, I bleed a crimson red,

And I have feelings, tears I do shed.

What makes you think you can simply ignore me?

I speak yet you turn your head as if I never be,

Do you know what it’s like to have no true friend?

And often finding yourself praying your life would end?

All because I’m different than you,

These questions weigh on me, they truly do,

I’m sorry that I’m no longer who I use to be,

I’m sorry that I gave in to life’s tragedies.

But that’s no reason to shun me or cast me aside,

I’ve came a long way throughout these years, I’ve fought and tried,

To restore harmony to a life once full of unrest,

I refuse to let your snubbing of me to find myself digress.

Simply put, I bleed too,

The same crimson red hue,

I bleed just like you.
