and i recognize
that love has been far from me
that i have been far from love
all the pain that gets stored
from nights like these
all the hands without other hands
all the tears
without a girl to wipe them away
all the nights
cold and lonely
honestly after a four year absence
i long to know love
to be held in her arms
to adore and be adored.
a gentle sob
a silent cry
i am alive again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
my idenity:
i am not my gender
i am not who i am with
i am not my job
i am not what i appear
i am my faith
i am what i do
for my actions reflect my belief
let me be.
