Don't Ask

"What does your boyfriend feel about your short hair?"
He doesn't mind, and if he did, then I would not care
My body is mine to do with it as I please;
Keep your thoughts to yourself, let me do what makes me happy.
"Why are you so serious? Can't you just give me a smile?
You're young and you're pretty only for a little while!"
Do you feel things on command? Then don't expect that from me.
You wouldn't say that dumb shit to a man on the street!
"What did your parents say when you changed your name?
Why did you change it at all?"
Why don't you shave your legs before you wear a dress? It makes me uncomfortable."
These are the things
These are the things
These are the things that I don't want you to ask me
These are the things
These are the things
These are the things it's not my job to explain.
"What are you so proud about? Can't you please just keep it quiet?"
Sorry to upset you but the first pride was a riot!
I'm not some liberal crybaby snowflake you've heard about.
If you can't get with the times, then you can get the fuck out!
"Well are you straight? Are you gay?" "What's between your legs?"
"How long have you been this way?"
"Why must I accommodate?" "Why am I not free to hate?"
"When will you just go away?"
These are the things
These are the things
These are the things that I don't want you to ask me
These are the things
These are the things
These are the things it's not my job to explain.

Some Days (Parallels)

Some days I need you and some days I don't
Some days you read me and some days you can't or won't
Some days I love you, and some days I see
that the feeling is pointless and only hurts you and me
I can't use the full force of my words
Cuz if I sing too loud I might be heard
But the spotlight's on me, so I'm stuck with this thinly veiled song:
I can't keep this inside
I can't make this sound right
There's no way you won't
see right through me,
bend my knees
with nothing but a word
But I can't fall now,
I won't call,
and you won't be heard
Some days I lose you and some days I win
Some days you hole up and I just want to be let in
Some days I'm scared that you're only a phase
And some days I'm scared that you'll never be replaced
When I first saw you my heart was stirred
But the closer we became the more the lines became blurred
On this tearstained page, where I’m writing this thinly veiled song:
Well I can't keep this inside
Well I can't make this sound right
There's no way you won't
see right through me,
bend my knees
with nothing but a word
But I can't fall now,
I won't call,
and you won't be heard
Parallels
Everywhere our parallels
We'll both keep fighting
And we'll both keep writing
And I'll keep on wondering if you see
Our parallels

Creep Phone

Woke up this morning to a Facebook request,
I've never met you, why the hell'd I say yes?
We've got mutual friends, maybe I've seen you at shows
Find myself thinkin "how wrong will this thing go?"
Got a notification on my Instagram
You liked a post from 3 years ago, you don't know who I am.
Sending me messages like "hey I'd like to be friends"
Dude, you seem weird and creepy, this thing needs to END
Please leave me alone,
Please leave me alone
Please leave me alone,
Please leave me alone!
A week or two passes and I think that you're through,
Then you send me a DM that says "hey I think you're cute"
I say "well hey thanks, I guess," don't wanna seem impolite.
Then you're like "sorry I sent that when I got real drunk last night!"
I say "okay dude I'll bite, what is it you want from me"
You say "I don't wanta thing, just wanna make you happy"
Well here's something you can do, leave me the hell alone
Man I don't even know you and no I don't wanna bone.
Please leave me alone,
Please leave me alone
Please leave me alone
Please leave me alone!
Next time I'll just hit deny,
Next time I'll just hit deny
Next time I'll just hit deny.
Oh look, a request from another random guy.
