Growing Pains

It's true what they say

Weep alone and you shall lengthen your sorrow

Yet why do they refuse to lent their shoulders

Am I an abomination

That must not be for they loved me

They loved the idea of me

Yet my voice remained unheard

To claim their attention, scream I did

But alas I was met with disgust

For they did not want to love the aching me

Where had my smile gone, they wondered

They knew yet they pretend not to know

I was to remain silent and endure

To keep everyone happy

They'll love me if I betrayed myself

But I refuse to be kept for keepsake

The growing pains they gifted shall remain

Forever growing and growling like a wild beast

Waiting upon its chance to break free

To put an end to her misery

And seek vengeance upon her oppressors

For she too deserved true love and freedom

Like everyone else only more so
