Lesbian

Picture perfect
Just like the stencil they made
Every box is checked
In the list that they've created.

I smile because I'm told
I'm not with you for the time being
I dare not be bold
I dare not be me.

My life is fake
My heart is shunned
Just how much do you think I can take
Of this drawn-out stunt.

It's always "Go for him,"
When I so desperately want her
Soft lies are all I have to lend
To make them not wonder.

Everyone else but you
Knows my loving soul
I just know you'd come unglued
And you'd be nothing but cold.

It isn't the body or the face
That causes me to fall in love
It's the heart, the soul, the grace
Not if their clothes fit like a glove.

I'm not what you think
I'm what I know
Why make my heart sink
Why keep me down so low?

You're fast to accept them
But refuse to think about me
What's the difference between the words "her" or "him"
Just look past the outside, see what I can see.
