I bare my soul
watch tempers flare
buried emotions rise
breathing for air
it is a deal
fair and square
they are welcome
but in a pair
I need to see
a mind and soul
with bodies- to see
an integrated whole
yet they yell
and pull me down
for being traitor
to a cause unknown
I know I’ve hit
where it hurts most
to be accepted
there is a cost
independence
is a monster
they’ve never faced
on a merry roller-coaster
