Coded stories
Promised love
Tales of undisclosed desires
Whispered words
Of thoughts believed
They won't have me live my truth
I'm a lady
Not a freak
Don't you listen to hearsay
Address me
As you would my peer
I for one will not stand down
Travels, work,
Discoveries
Take my time and fill my head
If I'm honest
I'll confess
Only one can fill my heart
On the darkest of days you might face
Lean on me my love
Take the odd risk and be truly alive
I'll show you the world
Coded stories
Promised love
Tales of undisclosed desires
Whispered words
Of thoughts believed
They won't have me live my truth
Everyday
They give me looks
Which I know how to rise above
No my dear
It is not queer
But only I was born this way
So let us pass
As one of them
Living as one of us
Take an oath
And be with me
Fool me once, don't break me twice
On the darkest of days you might face
Lean on me my love
Take the odd risk and be truly alive
I'll show you the world
Miles aways
For days on end
Nothing could lead me astray
God willing
I'll find a way
I'm always coming back to you
