Forced Change

Soon, I will not be myself,
But a shell of a soul,
Hiding and waiting to come out.
Soon, others will criticize my beliefs,
And tell me who to love.
Soon, I will feel alone,
While others wonder why.
You say you "understand", when you don't and can't.
Being who I am wont even be an option.
Deeper and deeper my feelings will have to go.
I'll be "normal" to the eye, but I'll be dying on the inside.
Waiting,
To be free.
But when that time comes,
Will I even remember how to be myself?
