Thriving

Hidden from society
Panicked by sobriety
Afraid of exposure
Just keep your composure

I need more pills to go down
As I say with a frown
Immense anxiety when holding her hand
But I pretend to be straight
So I don't get kicked to the ground

I'm a freak cause I'm not the norm?
All you want me to do is conform
But I can't, you see
Please just respect me

It's obvious you don't care
If my love is valid,
If my feelings are valid,
If my existence is valid

But I know you won't change
And neither will I
Just open your heart
For now you won't live
You'll just survive
Because your religion
Won't let me thrive
