A Same

The first time
It hit me like thunder
so strong couldn't believe it
Made me sit and wonder
Tried to deny it 
but it only got stronger
Tried to fight the feeling
but it only increased the hunger
I pretend to be like everyone else
but to me I'm a stranger
I see her with him
and my heart beats with anger 
Every night I lay  down 
with feelings of shame 
Wishing it's normal
to be in love with a same
So I could go wild 
and the world would be much brighter
