The Eternal Battle

you claim I'm over emotional
when my heart is in distress
telling me I'm irrational
adds to my pain and stress
             I should find comfort
             in your arms
             not amplified hurt
             and added harms
you try to change my identity
and completely renovate my core
pushing your masculinity
on a soul it wasn't meant for
             I am a feminine creature
             sensual and passionate
             softness is my best feature
             I'm sensitive and compassionate
so tired of being deprived
of true love and acceptance
this unfulfillment derived
from your utter ignorance
             cherish my femininity
             we balance each other out
             I cherish your masculinity
             isn't that what love's about?

On my Christy, this one hurt to read, it's so sad and lonely feeling. But...once again, like I always find when I read you, it is so well written. You are very talented my friend. Keep smiling.
