Things I wish I could say...

I carry a broken heart inside,
Still beating--rhythm unbroken,
panfully throbbing.

You say faggot, and then
Tell me you love me
with your next breath.

I pray inside,
let the floor open up
and swallow me whole.

I am different,
when you want me
to be as you are.

I cannot be.
I will not be.
Everyone should be free.

I carry the scars
from your words
on my body.

Are you happy
when you shatter me?
I want to die.

And yet,
Here I sit.
Crying.

Surviving.
I will be.
I will thrive.

In spite of you.

Answer for question 4438.

[Error: unknown template qotd]I swear fairly often, especially when irritated or frustrated. I tend to use the words "shit" and "damn" a lot, and "fuck" if I am very angry.

But I also say other nonsense things to substitute as well, like one I got from a friend in high school, "fudge nuggets" or I'll say, "What in Hades?" instead of "What the hell?"

Those types of things come in useful if kids are around.
