The Easy Option

Naked as I came into the world
Natural beauty wasn't a gift
Invisible to the mightier sex
Hiding behind laughter
Crying within
Taking the easy option
How wrong was I
Finding an inner strength
Sexuality anew
Wanting to be free
Taking the easy option
Wasn't the easy option after all
Finding love that gives me strength
Finding friends that give me courage
My heart may have felt broken
Losing my will to carry on
I stay for a love that is no longer
I won't be beaten I'm here for good so it seems
So I carry on regardless
Making the best of what I have
My need for life, love & laughter
Keeps me strong
