All I Ever Wanted


All I ever wanted Was for you To want me Take me Absorb me For who I am But it seems too much to ask You sneer and snicker As I try to live my destiny And while you despise The sound of my voice You offer no solutions to change it To alter to something natural To something …Desirable …Acceptable …Artificial You take advantage Of a kind heart A burdened mind A battered conscious And broken psyche Which has been subject to much crime Though I know what you say might be right The slightest sway of hips Complimentary movements of my arms The hands, animate and alive Which for my sake, I must hide Deep down inside I just hide it for normality It is All I’ve ever wanted
