i am...
lonely. oppressed. afraid.

i am not...
a freak, a deviant, or a threat to society, no matter what they say.

i feel...
fear that they'll hurt me or the people i love.
confusion about why they would hate us so much.
frustration that i can't make them understand.
anger that they would dare threaten us.
despair, knowing that they can be anyone, anywhere.

i want...
the world to understand my kind.
equality in all things.
the security of knowing i won't be hurt because of who i am.

i need...
to keep hoping.
to remember that deep down, most people mean well.
to remember to love humanity.
...to cut to keep myself alive.

i have...
a name. a heart. a soul. a reason to live.
a curse. a blessing. a gift.
a dream.
too many scars to count anymore.

i love...
being with people who understand.
dreaming about the day when two of my friends can finally get married.
pretending the world doesn't have a death wish for me.

i hate...
myself, for being what i am...and letting their hate get to me.
Please be gentle with me.

i am... alive, real, coping, strong, going to find a way.

i am not... stupid, selfish, weak, invisible, unfair, to blame for everything, going to fail.

i feel... exhausted, overemotional, drained, unable to cope, sad, useless, worthless and not really here.

i want... to find the silver lining, to find a way to be useful without jumping in to the situation blindly and annoying people.

i need... a way to find a calm place in all the chaos around me, a safe place to go without fear of interruption, to take better care of myself, to get the unit clean for company.

i have... music aplenty, DVDs I can watch, a supportive flatmate taking up the slack because I physically cant, a broken finger.

i love... my gal, my friends and family, the people at BUS, my puppy and the neighbour's dogs. That I've gone months at this point.

i hate... that I'm running out of time to get everything done and I'm falling apart so much that I'm falling behind on my list of things to do.
