Charley Davidson Poem
Tingles run from the tip of his nose to the tip of his toes
His body starts to panic & secretes
Pearls of salted water on every inch of his being
That soon enough will show through his clothes
He can feel his heart pounding in his chest
The blood running through his veins
The pounding in his brain
He wants nothing more than for their fingers to intertwine
And walk down the street hand in hand
If his palms could just, in this moment, not sweat
Showered, shit & shaved
Dressed elegantly, yet not too fancy
Dressed as a man should, protecting his integrity
Showing his power & authority
By being behaved and showing off his masculinity
Sparks fly
They both have twinkles in their eyes
Time, when they're together seems to pass them by
When comes the time for the first kiss,
They both feel the anxiety
Their arms wrap around each other,
It comes naturally
Their lips touch
And lock
Her lips are so soft
They fit perfectly with his
People pass them by and give them a glance
Most feeling joy or even envy
No one seems to be going berserk
Over a public display of affection
Between a woman & a man
He gets to feel all those things & not be judged
He gets to walk down the street with his girl holding hands
He gets to kiss her in public and not be criticized
Why can't I have that?
Because...
When I get ready for her,
I shit, shower & shave
I dress elegantly, yet not to fancy
I dress like a man, not like a woman should
I am behaved and showing off my masculinity
When I see her,
I get tingles from the tip of my nose to the tips of my toes
My body starts to panic & secretes
Pearls of salted water on every inch of my being
That soon enough will show through my clothes
When I hear her voice,
I can feel my heart pounding in my chest
The blood running through my veins
The pounding in my brain
When I'm with her,
I want nothing more than for our fingers to intertwine
And walk down the street hand in hand
If my palms, in that moment, could just not sweat
When I spend time with her,
Sparks fly
We both have twinkles in our eyes
Time when were together seems to pass us by
When I kiss her for the first time,
We both feel the anxiety,
Our arms wrap around each other,
It comes naturally
Our lips touch
They lock
Every time I kiss her I think to myself,
How her lips are so soft
And how they fit perfectly with mine

Charley Davidson Poem
I agree to disagree
With people who say
That love is always a possibility
But part of me thinks, that for me there’s just no way
Because after all that I’ve been through
I’ve learned that people just don’t stay
I’ve given people everything I knew
And yet they still just got up and walked away

Charley Davidson Poem
Your body gets tense, you start twitching
Your mouth keeps opening, as if to ask something
But instead you just start babbling
Talking about everything and nothing
Making jokes and acting foolish
To make it seem like you're not anguished
Your thoughts going a thousand miles per hour
Your face distortioned, by the pervertedness
Of a way of being, towards which, people have acceptance
You look at them and you judge,
What gives you the right to look down on them?
What if I were to tell you I was part of them?
Would you still think they should all be condemned?
I would always take their side and you didn’t know why
I wanted to tell you but you would just deny
The truth about the words coming out of my mouth
I wanted to curl up in a ball and cry
Or just dig my own hole, and in it die
I had known for years
And each year it would amplify
But I continued to falsify
The truth about my sexuality
Just so you could, in your ignorance, continue to love me
But why was it up to me to hide?
To not be able to have pride
About the broadside of my life
It is a part of who I am
It is part of who I am ! NO! It is who I am!
Why can't I just say it without fear of being denied
The right to be happy and not have my tastes defied
After a certain point in time,
I could no longer bare, to look at you glare
And swear at people that had that particular "flare"
I sat you down & told you both
I could feel my heart wanting to pound out of my chest
My soul wanting to leave my body in fear of being supressed
By the anger and disappointment expressed
By the people who always said to love me unconditionally
From then on, they barely ever held me
I could always feel them looking down on me
And treated me as if I was something ugly
Something so repugnant to the eye
That you had to look away
From then on, it was a choice, my choice!
It was only something of the moment, a phase!
Because that was not the way I was raised
Their denial was the worst part
They would not speak to others about it
Like if of me, they were ashamed
A part of my life was put aside
And along went my pride
Every night to fall asleep, I cried
The last thing I said to my parents
Was to accept me as I am...
Or let me go
Now mom and dad I tell you
What if I were to tell you I was part of them?
Would you still think they should all be condemned?
Because I want to be able to openly say
Yes! I am gay!

Charley Davidson Poem
Why give someone everything
And let them have the power to make you do anything
Just because you gave them everything
Because you feel something for them
Doesn’t give them the right to treat you like an item
Boys who chase girls, just for the banging
Aren’t really themselves, their just acting
Playing a role, telling girls what they know they like hearing
Then once they get the girls to fall for them
They use them and then leave them

Charley Davidson Poem
To society I’m just a teen
Almost an adult, but still so green
Held back by an invisible screen
That makes, to society, a difference between
Being the ages of seventeen and eight-teen
I’m told the world is not what it seems to be
In a world full of people you’re as small as a pea
Not everyday goes by like a cup of tea
No one breaks out in a song like in glee
You have to, in you’re mind, be able to see
That not everything and everybody in this society is free
Society lays upon us rule after rule
Insisting they be followed but not overruled
Even at a young age, institutionalizing them in school
But what they don’t realize is that they have been fooled
By remind us, and making us feel like a minuscule
They have just angered us, and we are using it as our fuel
To break everyone of their rules just to see them ridiculed

Charley Davidson Poem
Have you ever met somebody
That you can go to when you're angry
Sad,depressed or even lonely
Who will hold you in their arms
Like a mother holding her baby
They're not even related to you
They don't care what you've been through
They never juge you
All they ever do is help you
They would give you the shirt off their back
If they needed too
They would drop their plans in an instant
If you needed them
They would miss your presence
If you were absent
They would never hold it against you
If you were distant
All they would ever do is be there for you
Care for you, listen to you and help you
When no one else seems to give a dam
You know they got you
Those people are your family
Don't you ever forget that
Don't you ever take that for granted
Friends like that only come around once in a lifetime
Remember blood dosn't make family
