Hello! This is in need of serious revision, and who better to help me rip this apart then my dear 111/WF regulars?
This is wrote from the view of a LGBT person in the closet, though it could be applied to any "minority", or even a moment of weakness.


I, personally, think it's important that one should listen to the tune as well as read the words, since they are song lyrics. Thus, I have two links! One you have to download, the other you can just play in your browser. Please keep in mind that tunes can be tweaked.

(Please wait a few minutes for the in-browser version to load, otherwise it'll stop every few seconds.)

Please rip it to shreds!

And without further delay...

Another white lie
Another deep sigh
Another day of secrecy
My heart yearns for more
I know I am sure
Yet fear embraces me
As far as my eyes can see
Nothing but hypocrisy

Am I not human?
Can I not feel?
Can I not cry and dream?
I'm made of flesh, too
I'm just like you
I can hurt and I can bleed
Can you not see?

Just like the rest
Another day passes
Whisping quickly by
Divert my eyes
Steal no glances
For the chance they might see
For the chance they might ostrisize me
Another day of secrecy
Fear embraces me

Am I not human?
Can I not feel?
Can I not cry and dream?
I'm made of flesh, too
I'm just like you
I can hurt and I can bleed
Can you not see?

These tears are real
And these tears will spill
And they'll wash the sin away
The thought crosses my mind
As it does all the time
Why am I afraid
To tell what's only true in the first place?

I'm made of flesh, too
I'm just like you
I can hurt and I can bleed
Can you not see?
I am human, and I can feel.
