We Are All Souls in a Vessel—That Is All
We are us.
Can't let these thoughtless thoughts
Spew through my mind
Talk my depression down
One pill at a time
Can't let my heart
Race race stop and repeat
Won't let this anxiety
Force me off beat
I'm a perfectionist
I'm a hot mess
I may not be perfect
But I'm more than a diagnosis
A strong human being
Valid thoughts and feelings
Balancing everything
Working my ass off
Just to be happy
Unappreciated misunderstood
"Full of shit"
"Disabled"
"Mentally unstable"
Ignoring the uneducated
Living day by day
Living life and smiling
Too bad for the dragging
The dragging emotions
Living by the seasons
Black dress men's tie
Gender norms
Out the door
So damn sorry
For the "damn eye sore"
Get a conscience, blind your eyes
Learn to see with your hearts sight
Call me gay cause I'd marry a guy
Damn right I'm gay
Overjoyed, Dontfull of life
Going to adapt a baby boy
Our vows are the same
Love and Commitment
Till death do us part
Are we all so different?
Don't like it, don't look
It's really that simple
But I promise you this
Loves not skin thick
I joined the parade, I'm proud to be gay
Proposed to my man the very next day
Going on a rant?
Hell yeah I am
Rather be ignored and passionate
Than passionate and silent
These truths that I know
They need to be spoken
I'm not just a mental state
Seen more than just a vessel
Love who I love
Without the label
Call me what you want
But the truth still remains
"Happy and peaceful"
"I am who I am"
"Free of my own labels"
Made friends with my demons
Made sense of my past
Here and now
I'll stand as I am.
