I dance in empty hallways
Hoping nobody notices
Then wondering why
Nobody notices.
I creep around in darkness
Begging for Hades to come along
So I can fight him
But he never shows up.
I chase dreams with ambition
That I have only inside of me
There is nobody around to hear me
When they fall in reality.
I love with my entire heart
Though it isn’t kept on my sleeve.
I fall in love softly and gently
Like a woman that knows.
I’ve cried alone at night
When nobody could possibly hear me
Because I didn’t need the attention
I just needed the release.
I hide in shadows during the day
Away from everyone that claims they love me
Because I am afraid
They don’t.
I’ve allowed the actions of others
Determine my mood
And perseverance
In a situation where I shouldn’t have.
I spent all day being around people
Laughing, talking, and dreaming
Then went home
Feeling so very alone.
I’ve never once had a relative tell me
They were proud of me
For anything
I have ever done.
You may define people by their gender
Or by their lot in life
But you will never be able
To define me.
