Not That Bad
I know what you think of me
Capable of atrocity
But the truth is rarely quite so black and white.
You have to look a little harder
Through the bloodlust to the heart of
The girl hiding before you in plain sight.
The mask that I am wearing
Doesn't hide anything scary
But you'll have to pull it off to know for sure.
Then again, I may just bite
Or pitch a fit and fight
If you uncover what I've hoarded underneath.
But God, I'm sick of hiding
And I'm oh so tired of fighting
I just want to come out into the light.

this reminds me so much of the stuff i used to write when i was coming out as bisexual to myself- if that makes sense

That does make sense as I wrote this because of some of the reactions to my sexuality. BDSM isn't very highly thought of where I'm from and my sadomasochistic tendencies branded me a monster in some people's eyes.
