Something your not

I am not allowed to be it Not allowed to show it Can't be visible Can't be seen Be anyone Wash me Hide me Cover me up Pretend I am someone that I am not Pretend that I am some sorta of actor in a film Someone new Someone who can hold their own Why is it a crime? All I want is to be on time Like everyone else is Just to love And be loved I will be locked away Throw away that key They will mistreat you And hold you to ransom Batter you Kick you Until you have nothing left in your tank Learn to be ashamed of it Self - shame And self - harm I can't help it I am it I love it I can't change my mind I am like this This is it It is me Within my DNA Part of me Can't be me Is it a crime Locked up for a long time Never see that sunlight Sunrise Fresh air Feel that touch Feel those lips Touching mine
