Love you're self or be loved by others

dienyoung

 

“Do you want any man using the same bathroom as your daughter?”

“I don't” she answered

as if the TV wanted to hear what she thought

But when lost in hate and fear she’s forgot

she has no daughter  it's just her and her son

Who has long hair and paints his nails for fun

And likes to moves to the beat of his own drum

He's not gay just feeling girly today

And though her words he was taught to obey

He just wants to be happy and live his own way

And he can’t understands why that's not ok

“No way”

she said as tho the commercial wanted her opinion

now he's feeling lonely and all hope dies within him

He looks in the mirror but doesn't like what looks back

but if he told her that she might have a heart attack

But In this body he feels trapped

As his masks becomes Cracked

When he's told how he must act

It creates a deep impact

the only one who's ever really understood him was her dad

Who was the only caring mail figure the boy ever had

But on the day of his wake

A tough stance she decided to take

she said “take off the nail and those breasts that are fake

If you want to say your goodbye be before we lay him to rest.

I will not be seen with you in that black dress”

And so he did for the sake of his loved one’s

But none of them knows how deep the pain runs

when you're the one the family shuns

So think about  that if you’re really Worried about your daughters and sons
