why must people sometimes accuse love to be a crime?


we are welcomed with expectations

which we are expected to meet


sometimes we try to pretend

to be someone we're not

because either way we'll be told 

we need to be better than we are

and it won't stop


so we put on our masks

if only for awhile

one second or forever

it doesn't really matter


but in the end we go back to ourselves

or at least who we genuinely feel we have become

through the years of blunders and guilt


because we, and our masks; they are not always so compatible


we cry ourselves to sleep

just another subtle reminder 

we are still alive after all


in the end we still have our hearts on our sleeves

and no one ever notices

that they are still beating

showing us our true feelings

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


when you are simply too far gone,

how can you try when hope has ceased until it has become none?


why must anyone ever think that to be who you feel you are is so wrong?
