There’s a rage in me
And I am frightened of it so I try and turn away
But sometimes it rises up in me
And all self-control seems lost
I need you to know who I am
Not to experience but to understand my pain
I’d never try to convert you
Or make you feel the same
Each of the things that I feel and that I believe
Are a part of what makes me who I am
This is all I am asking you to see
Can you love me if you don’t really know me?
It’s a question I have been afraid to ask
Hiding myself in silence may avoid a confrontation
But it leaves me feeling ashamed
There is so much at risk here between you and I
A love unfelt before, a life to last forever
An immeasurable and indescribable joy
But I am in constant fear the day will come
When I can no longer be silent
And you will turn from me
I thought we had reached this point
My heart was frozen in fear
I scrambled to take my words back and to discount my own pain
I believe tonight we have come to a place
Both understanding
Both seeing
