equality

do not talk down on me like I am less of a soul
less of a point of the whole universe observing itself
less of an intelligence than you are; I am
equal, I am equal, I am equal, I am equal
and how long have we been trying to prove it?

I like sad, quiet songs to fill my time
I do not like nail polish or lipstick
because I feel like I am in a costume-
I like men's button down shirts and baggy jean shorts
and sunny days, I like sunny days
I like sweating and laughing,
I like grass and dirt and forgetting to shower,
I like to be a person with good character,
I like to be a role model,
I like to let people be themselves-
I like campfires and bugs and sleeping under the stars
I like boxer shorts and chacos and braids and swimming in lakes
I like all these things that I have forgotten-
and I will not apologize for myself.

"Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it... It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more."
-Erica Jong
All I hear is,
I know
If you know,
Then why not get me help,
Why not care?
Why not talk to me,
Why not hold me,
Why not let me cry,
Why not tell me,
Its okay,
Why not help me?
Because you don't know?
And you rather say you do then to deal with me?
Well maybe just maybe if you would of cared for me,
I wouldn't have all the problems I have,
Maybe just maybe I would be you child,
That has straight A's,
Never gets in trouble,
Not a lesbian,
Don't cut,
A ******,
Never get sent off,
Never in the back of a cop car,
Just maybe?
Did you ever think about that?
Maybe I have these problems because of you!
Huh?
You always tell me I look so sad,
Smile,
Be happy,
I don't feel like taking you to get medicine
Well  I would smile,
I wouldn't look so sad all the time,
If I didn't have depression,
If I didn't feel so worthless.
Step up to your plate.
Everyone stop saying  I know
Unless you are going to help me and get me outta this hell.
Because it hurts more.
*******.
Didn't you know you would brake me sooner or later? *******!
