Acceptance

I smile against her lips.
I love just being with her.
I wanna stay in her arms forever.
But I know that that's out of the question.
No one will accept it.
No one will approve.
They'll abandon us.
They'll shun us.
They'll hate us.
That's how things are here.
If you don't follow the rules,
You're left to wander the world alone.
An outcast.
A misfit toy.
No one will care.
Trust me,
I know.
Acceptance doesn't come easy in a place like this.
Here if you aren't what they want,
You're nothing.
No one.
Invisible.
Alone.
Suck it up.
Hide who you are.
It's the only way.
It's THE way.
It's their way.
And they choose who they let into their world.
