Am I Not....
* this is not about me but growing up in general,I saw a doc on HBO called
The Reasons I Left, basically about homeless teens. This inspired me to
write this*
Am I Not.....
Am I not good enough?
am I not pretty enough
to have your love
am I not straight enough?
am I just space
being taken up?
tell me mom
tell me dad
I am listening
your ears are closed
too bad.....
Am I not smart enough?
Am I not the jock you wanted
to rightly have your love
am I not skinny enough?
I am losing weight, see....
on a stash of drugs
starving myself
but it's not just the food
but you still don't get it though
and in my tears
my frustrations are screaming
tell me mom
tell me dad
I am talking
your ears are still closed
can't face the facts
so just throw money
in my direction
so just throw me out
so just make the space bigger
your obvious un acceptance
and when I stop trying
when I stop talking
maybe when I am gone
you will finally listen.....
