Just Being Neese

You can love me or hate me I am who I am... What part of I'm never gonna change don't you understand? I just want to be happy and I just want to be free. I just want to feel like its ok to be me... Wanting to be excepted to feel like I belong... I've stood on the outside looking in for so very long... Sometimes it hurts but I push it down just like I always do... You are suppose to be my family yet I don't feel like I'm even apart of you... But in a way I gotta thank you for making me in to the person I've come to be... And finely after all this time I'm ok with just being Neese... By Denise Teeter
