I've spent most of my life trying to fit into the 'societal norm'. Gods is it awful. Say this, do this, dress to impress..
Don't curse, please watch what you eat, black is the devil's color..
Get down on your knees and pray to Jesus when all is going wrong, you need to find a man to marry before you spread your legs, sundresses and bright colors..
I'll get down on my knees to pleasure who I wish, it will be sinful. I sleep with who I wish and it will not only be men. If my graphic black shirts offend, well good for me.
I do not believe in your 'God'. I am one of those gays you despise.
Guess what??
I do not exist to please anyone but myself.
I'm doing a damn good job of it too.
Kindly avert your attention elsewhere, while I do whatever I want.
I rightly don't give a single fuck about your comfort.
I want to know, but I will not ask.
I don't feel like ME anymore. If there ever was such a thing to begin with..
Dreaming of being a better human.
I will love you quietly. In my way. You are in my thoughts, and songs, and poetry. You are in my dreams night and day.
When I die,
Bury me in the forest.
There will be no need for visiting me.
I have found home with the foliage.
The shame of living will disappear as my body becomes the earth.
I think you knew what you were doing this whole time. I hope I don’t get hurt in the end.
Can I tell you a secret?
I dream about a different life. One without children and without a husband. I dream of living alone. Having a small studio apartment. A decent job. Ultimately relying on me myself and I for everything. A few good friends I could meet on the weekends. Just living my life for me and me alone.
The wanting is killing you, darling. The longing is keeping you from sleep. The way your chest aches is like a stone at the bottom of a lake.
I read this quote once that said something along the lines of, "If we want the rewards of being loved we have to submit to the mortifying ideal of being known".
Of the thousands of quotes I have saved across varying platforms of social medias, this quote has lived in my subconscious more than the rest.
We as humans have to have social interaction and through our interactions we search for love. Our greatest fear as a species is being alone and within that being lonely.
To not end up alone though, we have to put ourselves out there and open up and let people get the chance to know us. Opening up to let people see our true selves is possibly the most terrifying thing for a person to do. Here let me show you my demons and the things I struggle with on the daily and please, dear god love me for it?
How are we supposed to open up and let people see our inner desires and not have them run screaming because what they have seen doesn't line up with their struggles or beliefs?
Here are my demons, love me anyway.
