[x]
They stop and stare
Pointing and whispering
They think I care
As long as I'm breathing

The scars I used to hide
I now open to the world
No one is on my side
My fist is curled

I realize why I hid
I was a loved one
What was forbid
I have done

I cannot undo
I cannot fully heal
But what i can do
Is feel

I feel the stares
Burning into my flesh
Coming in pairs
It's all hush

I want to hide
But I cannot
I have lied
I have fought

So let them look
I am myself
I am not a book
To be judged by oneself

I am me
And proud to be

No stares or judgement can ever cause a falter in your pride (:. If they can't deal with who we are, well then screw them

That's good. I know a few people who've been through the same thing. It's scary to watch:O
