Love is blind

I love this one beautiful girl
Who has my heart in a swirl
Her brown eyes shine like golden honey
She laughs at things that aren't even funny
Her heart is three times too big for this world
Her smile shines like a perfect pearl
I love this one beautiful girl

But I can't show my love for her
At least not without causing a stir
You say this love I feel isn’t there 
That these feelings are empty as air
You say that my love is broken and doomed
And that anger and hatred have me consumed 

But I know this love I feel is definitely real
And I’m sorry if my love doesn't fit your appeal
And if I’m truly doomed
Then I’d gladly go down with you
Because this love is realer than your hate
And I know what I am thinking isn't straight
And that is because love is blind
But sadly that isn't in your mind

So I am in love with this girl
Who has my heart caught in a whirl
And no I don’t care that I am a girl too
Because love is blinder than you

The stars

Two stars, two of a kind
Speaking of their love filled bind.
Behind the nighttime shield 
These stars thought they had healed.
But around them the shield made others blind.

Their love spread, but so did the hate,
The other stars didn't find their love great.
But the pair didn't care,
For they did not need “repair”
They could carry each other's weight.

not a she

He once was a she,
Playing with his dolls,
He always felt wrong,
He felt like his body was not his own,
The boy felt alone,
He knew his parents would never believe him,
That their beloved daughter,
Was actually a son,
That the meat on his chest,
Was not meant to be,
Not allowed to have more masculine hair,
Or a binder to flatten his chest,
But he didn't let them smother him,
And instead he broke free,
Becoming who he wanted to be.
