Bringing you up to date with poems so far #1

Pigeon Holes
Square peg in a circular hole
always trying to fit the mould
desperately worrying about others perceptions
about myself and my reflection

wanting to break out and show my true self
too scared to cry out and ask for help
don't want to be 'normal' anymore
I have to scratch this itch before its too sore

this feeling tearing inside of me
the aching need and want to be free
from restraint and shackles and superfluous labels
to give me a chance so that I am able

to breathe and live and show the real me
for better, for worse, for all to see
come look at me now and see what I am
still wanna be with me? I couldn't give a damn
