UNACCEPTABLE

 

©2003 Gemma Louise Bright

 

It’s been a while

It’s been so long, I’ve forgotten how to smile

I’m losing scope, it all seems so grey

A part of me collapsed when you turned me away

 

Can’t you accept the way I am?

 

I know its hard, looking at a friend

Seeing how he’s changed, thinking it’s the end

S’only on the outside, on the inside I’m the same

All those memories, fears and happiness

And that inner burning pain

 

Can’t you accept the way I am?

 

It’s been so long

Deep inside, I’d convinced me I was strong

Sharing lives, with those who couldn’t see

Just the kind of human being I was meant to be

 

Can’t you accept the way I am?

Can’t you accept the way I am?
